00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:47,533
I'd like to say that in the beginning I was easier,
2
00:00:47,861 --> 00:00:51,998
but truth be told I was as big a pain
then as I turned out to be later.
3
00:00:52,541 --> 00:00:53,934
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
4
00:00:55,467 --> 00:00:59,121
Right now the unbreakable bond between a mother
and daughter was about to be born
5
00:00:59,687 --> 00:01:01,292
So just listen and watch
6
00:01:01,556 --> 00:01:03,011
and pay attention.
7
00:01:03,012 --> 00:01:05,300
If you don't like the way I'm doing it...
8
00:01:05,310 --> 00:01:08,080
both of you get in here and push her out yourself!
9
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,611
Look, look...
10
00:01:36,426 --> 00:01:37,943
Hey baby�
11
00:01:39,888 --> 00:01:41,838
Gosh, she is beautiful!
12
00:01:41,988 --> 00:01:44,338
She's changed our lives forever.
13
00:01:45,378 --> 00:01:46,926
...If you only knew�
14
00:01:51,988 --> 00:01:54,146
Mom and Dad had waited a long time for a kid.
15
00:01:54,226 --> 00:01:56,498
They tried everything so you can only imagine
16
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,659
how many hopes and dreams were pinned on me,
17
00:01:58,659 --> 00:02:02,003
their first born.
Even though I was a potted plant.
18
00:02:02,003 --> 00:02:04,003
- Honey!
- What?
19
00:02:04,003 --> 00:02:05,812
I can't hear Jane. She's not making any noise.
20
00:02:06,166 --> 00:02:08,117
She's fairly asleep.
21
00:02:08,523 --> 00:02:09,671
Just like I was�
22
00:02:10,178 --> 00:02:13,802
Robert, you gotta calm
down. Go back to sleep.
23
00:02:14,055 --> 00:02:15,582
No no no...
I'm gonna check on her.
24
00:02:15,823 --> 00:02:18,666
- No please...
- It turns out long to have a baby.
25
00:02:18,686 --> 00:02:20,806
- I'm damned not gonna let her suffocate.
- Please don't.
26
00:02:22,383 --> 00:02:24,266
You're insane!
27
00:02:25,176 --> 00:02:27,300
Ok fine... I'm coming too. I'm coming.
28
00:02:35,053 --> 00:02:37,616
-What are you doing?
-I don't want to turn on the overhead.
29
00:02:38,105 --> 00:02:39,614
That was a seminal moment for me.
30
00:02:39,912 --> 00:02:41,693
And yes, I do too, remember it.
31
00:02:41,942 --> 00:02:44,940
Babies know way more stuff that goes on
than you think.
32
00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:47,940
And from that moment on I felt
like the spot light was on me,
33
00:02:47,940 --> 00:02:49,940
which I've never gotten used to.
34
00:02:49,940 --> 00:02:52,000
Turn that light off!
35
00:02:52,004 --> 00:02:53,302
Sorry, sorry�
36
00:02:54,224 --> 00:02:56,298
To make it through year one is quite an accomplishment
37
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:58,988
although no one ever gives you an atta-boy for it,
38
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:00,338
they really should.
39
00:03:00,829 --> 00:03:04,436
And another thing I learned that year is
that if parents could crazy glue us to them,
40
00:03:04,595 --> 00:03:05,329
they would.
41
00:03:10,451 --> 00:03:11,359
Sweetheart
42
00:03:12,477 --> 00:03:14,533
My mother was pregnant and ready to pop again.
43
00:03:14,761 --> 00:03:17,065
Then I stupidly thought that when Brad was born
44
00:03:17,070 --> 00:03:19,133
he'd take some of the pressure off me
45
00:03:18,842 --> 00:03:20,070
Boy, was I wrong.
46
00:03:23,890 --> 00:03:27,848
This was also the goo-goo ga-ga period.
47
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,198
It's a little dull.
So let's jump ahead, shall we?
48
00:03:45,978 --> 00:03:48,836
I wish our parents were here to see this.
49
00:03:49,602 --> 00:03:51,547
Both mom and dad's parents were dead.
50
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:53,667
I missed not having grandparents.
51
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:56,206
They missed not having parents more.
52
00:03:57,843 --> 00:03:59,676
So how long are we gonna sit here?
53
00:03:59,993 --> 00:04:01,327
A long time.
54
00:04:01,718 --> 00:04:04,822
My mother knew that some day she
was going to have to let me go
55
00:04:05,025 --> 00:04:06,407
run free little one
56
00:04:06,605 --> 00:04:09,622
But she didn't want to be
on this day or any day soon.
57
00:04:09,794 --> 00:04:12,921
And so began the parents witness protection program.
58
00:04:12,977 --> 00:04:14,950
Honey, she's got to go to school
59
00:04:15,405 --> 00:04:17,110
and I've gotta to go to work
60
00:04:17,112 --> 00:04:19,740
So either we do this as a family
or I'll take her in myself.
61
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,075
How important is kindergarten anyway�
62
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:24,505
I can't remember it. Can you?
63
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,008
It's not the point.
64
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,508
What is the point?
65
00:04:27,748 --> 00:04:29,859
The point is...we can't protect her forever.
66
00:04:30,032 --> 00:04:30,920
Why not?
67
00:04:31,027 --> 00:04:32,245
It's not healthy
68
00:04:32,345 --> 00:04:34,472
It's healthier than not protecting her.
69
00:04:34,672 --> 00:04:38,439
Honey, she's...gotta be around kids.
70
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:40,639
She has to start developing social skills.
71
00:04:40,023 --> 00:04:44,464
- Why?
- Oh...this is nuts. I'm taking her in.
72
00:04:50,661 --> 00:04:52,481
Come on! Let's go.
73
00:04:53,482 --> 00:04:54,482
Atta girl.
74
00:04:55,923 --> 00:04:57,061
Are you coming?
75
00:04:57,309 --> 00:05:00,770
No...I want her to have the memory of you leaving.
76
00:05:04,190 --> 00:05:06,749
Blackmail is an interesting thing if you use it properly.
77
00:05:06,972 --> 00:05:09,216
My mother had a black belt in it.
78
00:05:34,037 --> 00:05:35,548
My mother wanted to be a dancer.
79
00:05:35,622 --> 00:05:36,728
But she'll tell you about that later.
80
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:40,451
Let's just say her expectations were way too high.
81
00:05:58,862 --> 00:06:03,192
They hugged us so tightly that you could almost hear
the air escape from our tiny little bodies.
82
00:06:03,255 --> 00:06:06,130
- You were wonderful.
- You were brilliant, brilliant!
83
00:06:06,185 --> 00:06:07,032
Wasn't she brilliant? Yes!
84
00:06:07,206 --> 00:06:09,038
We were awful. Moving on.
85
00:06:13,806 --> 00:06:15,559
Hey, baby...how you feeling?
86
00:06:16,712 --> 00:06:18,068
Come on, sweetie.
Here, drink this.
87
00:06:19,098 --> 00:06:22,292
Come on, make you feel better.
Promise.
88
00:06:22,442 --> 00:06:25,016
My parents love me more than life itself.
89
00:06:26,979 --> 00:06:30,894
But it was my mother who truly would've
cut off her right arm had I asked her to.
90
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:32,707
Not quite sure why
91
00:06:32,757 --> 00:06:33,907
But you get the picture.
92
00:06:33,957 --> 00:06:37,700
Let's get to the good stuff.
Let's get to where my life really started, ok?
93
00:06:43,751 --> 00:06:45,050
It's a very important day.
94
00:06:45,743 --> 00:06:48,100
This is when things suddenly begin to fall into place.
95
00:06:48,188 --> 00:06:50,148
Our little girl...all grown up.
96
00:06:50,395 --> 00:06:51,399
First day of high school.
97
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:53,938
Janie, all the world is at your feet.
98
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,838
Dad�
99
00:06:56,922 --> 00:06:57,744
Mom�
100
00:06:57,806 --> 00:06:58,884
I gotta go.
101
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:01,435
Just let your father and me share this moment with you.
102
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:05,870
All right. But any more moments and your little
girl's gonna be late for her first day of school.
103
00:07:05,974 --> 00:07:08,270
Now that's not a good way for me
to start my wonder years, is it?
104
00:07:08,514 --> 00:07:10,360
- Get out the car.
- Hold it. Hold it.
105
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,200
- You're forgetting�
- Come on... come on�
106
00:07:16,075 --> 00:07:17,075
Kisses all around.
107
00:07:17,076 --> 00:07:19,500
If the kids saw me doing
this, I'd be branded for life.
108
00:07:19,501 --> 00:07:21,101
Out. Now get out of the car.
109
00:07:24,797 --> 00:07:26,561
From now on, I'm walking to school
110
00:07:26,826 --> 00:07:27,777
by myself.
111
00:07:28,003 --> 00:07:30,046
- Got it?
- Yeah we got it.
112
00:07:31,546 --> 00:07:33,546
I don't think so.
113
00:07:55,055 --> 00:07:57,978
I'm Ms. Walcott and I will be your English teacher
114
00:07:57,999 --> 00:08:00,478
through your tortureous first year of high school
115
00:08:00,778 --> 00:08:03,446
and I guarantee that you'll make it
through the experience alive
116
00:08:04,252 --> 00:08:08,873
Now, I'm pretty easy to get along with
as long as you follow a few of my simple rules
117
00:08:09,346 --> 00:08:12,867
One, if you show me respect, I'll show it to you
118
00:08:13,043 --> 00:08:16,358
and two, if you have any questions, ask me
119
00:08:16,418 --> 00:08:21,802
and three, if you're feeling overwhelmed
and need somebody to talk to, you can talk to me.
120
00:08:21,993 --> 00:08:23,899
I know it's hard to believe
121
00:08:24,003 --> 00:08:27,416
but I am not so old that I can't relate
to what you might be going through.
122
00:08:28,661 --> 00:08:32,933
So, let's hit the book, shall we?
I want you to turn to page 424
123
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,023
in "Lit Language"�
124
00:08:37,386 --> 00:08:39,999
The beauty of reading is that it's personal,
125
00:08:40,334 --> 00:08:41,902
it's your interpretation.
126
00:08:42,053 --> 00:08:43,643
It's what you think, it's what you feel,
127
00:08:43,643 --> 00:08:45,857
it's what you see
128
00:08:45,857 --> 00:08:47,530
and that's what makes it so magical.
129
00:08:47,530 --> 00:08:50,054
And I hope that if you learn nothing else from me
130
00:08:51,172 --> 00:08:52,781
it's that you learn to love words.
131
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,147
They'll save you someday�
Trust me on that.
132
00:08:59,361 --> 00:09:00,678
Have a great lunch!
133
00:09:04,291 --> 00:09:06,339
Jane, over here!
134
00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:15,243
I can't believe you're not in our class.
135
00:09:14,702 --> 00:09:16,500
Who'd you get?
136
00:09:16,509 --> 00:09:18,609
Ms. Walcott. She's cool, though.
137
00:09:18,609 --> 00:09:19,909
She's my guidance counselor too.
138
00:09:20,509 --> 00:09:21,562
You luck just never ends.
139
00:09:22,076 --> 00:09:23,940
We got a bone head Mr. Speavek
140
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,123
That's the new boy.
141
00:09:30,302 --> 00:09:32,512
Oh, is he a hottie or what?
142
00:09:35,922 --> 00:09:38,359
Oh my god! Jane, he smiled at you!
143
00:09:38,761 --> 00:09:40,746
Why did he smile at you, why not at me?
144
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,249
Competition is an ugly quality.
145
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:46,249
One I can honestly say
was not a problem for me.
146
00:09:46,249 --> 00:09:48,711
Although I had many other problems,
that was not one of them.
147
00:09:52,503 --> 00:09:54,246
Hi, I'm Ned.
148
00:09:54,946 --> 00:09:58,309
Elizabeth, Betsy, Claire and Jane.
149
00:10:00,049 --> 00:10:01,760
Nice meeting you.
150
00:10:05,349 --> 00:10:09,365
Jane's got a boyfriend,
Jane's got a boyfriend!
151
00:10:09,802 --> 00:10:12,477
Leave me alone, you dweeb.
I'm not interested.
152
00:10:13,122 --> 00:10:15,896
You're an idiot then.
He was positively drooling.
153
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:19,100
- So?
- So don't be retarded.
154
00:10:19,135 --> 00:10:21,593
He's like the cutest guy I've ever seen here
155
00:10:21,593 --> 00:10:24,796
except for Todd Burkin, captain of the football team
156
00:10:25,521 --> 00:10:27,332
who I am going after starting today.
157
00:10:28,752 --> 00:10:33,501
But back to you, we need to jump start your hormones.
You�re way behind.
158
00:10:34,047 --> 00:10:36,002
And that's where the fingerpointing began.
159
00:10:41,184 --> 00:10:43,831
-Brad, stop it. I'm doing homework.
-So?
160
00:10:45,252 --> 00:10:47,132
-Mom!
-What is it honey?
161
00:10:47,661 --> 00:10:49,609
I was in here first. I need to do my homework.
162
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:52,230
- Brad, turn the Nintendo off.
- Well, why?
163
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:55,292
- Your sister's studying.
- She always gets her way.
164
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,350
You go wash up for dinner.
165
00:10:57,816 --> 00:10:59,520
Should've been a girl, then you'd be nicer to me.
166
00:11:01,316 --> 00:11:03,389
-Goodness...
-You'd of been a lovely girl.
167
00:11:03,745 --> 00:11:04,412
Jane!
168
00:11:08,114 --> 00:11:10,088
As you can tell, I didn't much care for my brother
169
00:11:10,392 --> 00:11:12,579
I don't even know why, but I think it's mandatory.
170
00:11:14,955 --> 00:11:16,512
Janie, be nicer to your brother!
171
00:11:16,512 --> 00:11:17,512
Why?
172
00:11:20,823 --> 00:11:21,935
Want some help with your homework?
173
00:11:22,442 --> 00:11:23,866
Yeah, it's Math.
174
00:11:24,567 --> 00:11:26,963
Sorry, can't help you there.
175
00:11:27,306 --> 00:11:28,804
Well, how'd you get through it in school?
176
00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:30,167
I didn't.
177
00:11:30,807 --> 00:11:31,828
What were you good at?
178
00:11:33,708 --> 00:11:36,586
Mmmm... English... Recess...
179
00:11:38,109 --> 00:11:40,323
You're a lot smarter than I was at your age�
180
00:11:41,346 --> 00:11:42,554
You'll do fine.
181
00:11:43,446 --> 00:11:44,554
I think not.
182
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,374
What do you say this Saturday...the two of us
183
00:11:48,492 --> 00:11:52,006
just the girls, do little shopping, go to movies
184
00:11:53,358 --> 00:11:54,926
Just chill�
185
00:11:55,945 --> 00:11:57,251
Isn't that the phrase, just chill?
186
00:11:58,128 --> 00:12:00,391
No...It�s hang...
187
00:12:00,391 --> 00:12:01,391
oh, hang�
188
00:12:01,545 --> 00:12:02,368
What do you say?
189
00:12:03,250 --> 00:12:06,906
I will say you da bomb.
190
00:12:06,906 --> 00:12:09,906
Oh, I'm da bomb. Oh, I am da bomb. Great!
191
00:12:10,408 --> 00:12:14,409
And at that time, I meant it with all of my little heart.
192
00:12:16,627 --> 00:12:18,383
So, how do you like high school?
193
00:12:19,357 --> 00:12:20,402
It's ok.
194
00:12:20,996 --> 00:12:22,397
Compared to what? Dental surgery?
195
00:12:23,056 --> 00:12:24,522
Bob, you just find it thrilling
196
00:12:24,522 --> 00:12:25,947
because you don't have to go through it again.
197
00:12:25,947 --> 00:12:28,446
If your mind could go back that far,
if you could really remember.
198
00:12:28,446 --> 00:12:31,964
It was pretty rough, you know,
new kids, new teachers.
199
00:12:32,302 --> 00:12:34,186
Don�t know where to go, new questions.
200
00:12:34,674 --> 00:12:35,444
Brad, dinner!
201
00:12:36,533 --> 00:12:39,369
Sweetheart, we have to start planning
your sweet sixteen party
202
00:12:39,951 --> 00:12:41,260
Why? It's months away!
203
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:44,549
You never start too early
planning really important events.
204
00:12:46,223 --> 00:12:47,715
Well I really don't want a party.
205
00:12:47,923 --> 00:12:49,967
What? Everybody wants a sweet sixteen party!
206
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:51,501
Everyone but me.
207
00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:06,500
I don't know
what teenage girl especially
208
00:13:06,525 --> 00:13:08,601
doesn't wanna have a sweet sixteen party.
209
00:13:08,609 --> 00:13:10,284
You know, it's what every kid should have.
210
00:13:10,286 --> 00:13:11,602
Wait a second, who are you?
211
00:13:11,602 --> 00:13:14,602
The Janice I've know all these years
never did anything that was expected of her.
212
00:13:14,781 --> 00:13:17,250
Yeah, what happened to 'the
hell with society' girl,
213
00:13:17,252 --> 00:13:18,815
we all used to know and love?
214
00:13:18,941 --> 00:13:20,500
She became a 'mutha'.
215
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:22,300
A 'mutha'?
216
00:13:23,188 --> 00:13:25,188
Jane Fonda, meet Nancy Raegan.
217
00:13:25,809 --> 00:13:27,912
Woo..Ouch! That is cold
218
00:13:27,912 --> 00:13:29,512
That is... but accurate�
219
00:13:35,671 --> 00:13:37,175
How'd you do on that Math test?
220
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:41,357
Hum...I think I'll eek out a C.
221
00:13:41,865 --> 00:13:43,774
I'm so proud of you!
222
00:13:43,774 --> 00:13:45,974
You're the only member of this
family who hasn't flunked math.
223
00:13:46,518 --> 00:13:47,538
Thanks.
224
00:13:48,978 --> 00:13:50,835
So any cute boys at this school?
225
00:13:51,109 --> 00:13:52,997
Mom, I just started going there.
226
00:13:53,321 --> 00:13:54,471
It's alright.
227
00:13:55,152 --> 00:13:57,058
Did you have a boyfriend right away in high school?
228
00:13:59,618 --> 00:14:00,574
Yeah.
229
00:14:01,330 --> 00:14:04,190
When did you first have sex?
230
00:14:04,290 --> 00:14:05,465
Excuse me?
231
00:14:05,465 --> 00:14:06,898
I know you know the answer.
232
00:14:07,238 --> 00:14:09,529
Yes, I do. I'm just trying
to remember it. I was 21.
233
00:14:10,581 --> 00:14:11,609
You're such a liar.
234
00:14:11,709 --> 00:14:13,091
Yes, I am.
235
00:14:13,091 --> 00:14:14,353
Did you always wanna have kids?
236
00:14:14,807 --> 00:14:17,118
Far back as I can remember.
237
00:14:17,935 --> 00:14:19,451
Why didn't you stick with dancing?
238
00:14:19,899 --> 00:14:21,662
I wasn't really very good at it�
239
00:14:21,662 --> 00:14:24,662
Then I tried to be a writer,
I didn't have the passion for it.
240
00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:26,660
What I really had passion for was being a mother.
241
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:29,438
Best job in the world.
242
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:31,429
I'm kinda glad you weren't good at anything
243
00:14:33,471 --> 00:14:36,626
Do me a favor, next Math test, just eek out a B.
244
00:14:38,367 --> 00:14:39,406
I'll try�
245
00:14:39,406 --> 00:14:40,406
Thank you very much!
246
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:44,316
Your reading assignment is
going to be 'Crime and Punishment'.
247
00:14:45,902 --> 00:14:48,362
I'm kidding!
248
00:14:49,362 --> 00:14:50,346
Ok.
249
00:14:52,146 --> 00:14:53,846
Sorry, I'm late.
250
00:14:53,846 --> 00:14:56,046
Paper work took longer than I planned for.
251
00:14:55,846 --> 00:14:58,325
That's ok. Just take a seat in the back.
252
00:15:00,943 --> 00:15:02,012
So as I was saying,
253
00:15:02,313 --> 00:15:04,612
We're gonna find something
exciting for you to read.
254
00:15:07,562 --> 00:15:09,270
Hi, I'm Taylor
255
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,071
Hi, I'm Jane
256
00:15:11,271 --> 00:15:12,242
Hi Jane!
257
00:15:14,613 --> 00:15:17,780
She was different, smarter, wiser�
258
00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:18,890
Maybe it was just because
259
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:20,200
she wasn't from here.
260
00:15:21,015 --> 00:15:22,600
But maybe it was just her�
261
00:15:23,361 --> 00:15:25,550
I don't know but I'm
gonna go with the last one.
262
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,300
And I should know
263
00:15:27,344 --> 00:15:29,044
because Taylor would end up changing my life.
264
00:15:36,374 --> 00:15:37,598
Hi!
265
00:15:37,698 --> 00:15:40,000
I didn't mean to scare you.
266
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:41,500
You didn't.
267
00:15:42,196 --> 00:15:45,315
I'm a little behind on what books,
we need on some of the assignments.
268
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,970
Do you think you could fill me in?
269
00:15:47,915 --> 00:15:48,830
Sure
270
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:50,148
Ok
271
00:15:51,745 --> 00:15:52,807
You're my saviour.
272
00:15:52,807 --> 00:15:54,807
No, I wouldn't go that far.
273
00:16:04,813 --> 00:16:07,196
Hi, what are you doing?
274
00:16:07,996 --> 00:16:09,222
Oh, this is Taylor,
275
00:16:09,232 --> 00:16:10,522
she just transferred here
276
00:16:10,522 --> 00:16:12,522
So I'm just helping her
catch up on her assignments.
277
00:16:13,545 --> 00:16:15,191
This is Elizabeth, Betsy and Claire.
278
00:16:16,045 --> 00:16:16,995
Hi
279
00:16:17,345 --> 00:16:19,331
Going to the movies
tonight, you wanna come?
280
00:16:19,795 --> 00:16:21,645
Oh I can't. I have to baby-sit my brother
281
00:16:23,472 --> 00:16:24,333
See you tomorrow then.
282
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,647
Hey, would it be ok if I came over tonight?
283
00:16:30,747 --> 00:16:32,709
We can go over the rest of this stuff.
284
00:16:33,174 --> 00:16:35,477
Yeah, around 8 o'clock?
285
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,477
Sure
286
00:16:43,766 --> 00:16:45,980
Excuse me, it's the bulter's night off.
287
00:16:45,980 --> 00:16:47,980
Answer the door.
288
00:16:52,978 --> 00:16:55,000
- Hey.
- Hi, you two look nice.
289
00:16:55,027 --> 00:16:55,907
Oh, thank you.
290
00:16:55,927 --> 00:16:56,980
You guys double-dating?
291
00:16:56,987 --> 00:16:58,760
I'm not his type, I'm the wrong height.
292
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:01,000
Hahaha, funny.
293
00:17:01,030 --> 00:17:02,480
Hi, Brad.
294
00:17:03,442 --> 00:17:04,442
What is this, Halloween?
295
00:17:04,859 --> 00:17:06,990
Oh, I forgot tell you mom there's a new girl
at school that's coming over
296
00:17:06,998 --> 00:17:09,590
so I can help her
catch up on class work.
297
00:17:11,137 --> 00:17:12,753
-Hello.
-Hi, I'm Taylor.
298
00:17:12,989 --> 00:17:14,994
Hi, Taylor, I'm Janice, Jane's mother.
299
00:17:15,849 --> 00:17:19,117
This is Jimmy and Beth. This is Taylor.
300
00:17:19,264 --> 00:17:21,045
- Hi.
- Hi, Taylor.
301
00:17:21,724 --> 00:17:23,075
And the one on the couch in a coma...
302
00:17:23,078 --> 00:17:24,800
staring at the screen is Brad.
303
00:17:24,905 --> 00:17:26,100
Brad!
304
00:17:26,770 --> 00:17:27,961
Robert, this is Taylor.
305
00:17:28,381 --> 00:17:30,170
This is Jane's friend they're
gonna do some homework together.
306
00:17:30,349 --> 00:17:31,481
Great. Hi, Taylor.
307
00:17:32,073 --> 00:17:33,512
So Taylor you from around here.
308
00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:35,013
Janice, we really don't have time.
309
00:17:35,148 --> 00:17:36,256
Yeah, right, we have a minute.
310
00:17:36,543 --> 00:17:37,780
What do your parents do?
311
00:17:38,415 --> 00:17:39,950
My parents were divorced when I was 6
312
00:17:40,064 --> 00:17:43,148
and I live with my mom,
she works full time for the phone company.
313
00:17:43,174 --> 00:17:44,472
Do you have any brothers?
314
00:17:44,509 --> 00:17:46,333
-Mom...
-Jane, it's ok. I can take it.
315
00:17:47,105 --> 00:17:48,922
So anybody else have any questions?
316
00:17:48,991 --> 00:17:50,451
Yeah, how many pets?
317
00:17:50,461 --> 00:17:51,851
Funny, really funny...
318
00:17:51,851 --> 00:17:54,851
The number where we'll be is up on the fridge
if you need us. Just in case.
319
00:17:54,852 --> 00:17:55,952
- Bye, Honey.
- Bye, Mom.
320
00:17:56,540 --> 00:17:57,377
Bye sweetie.
321
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:01,500
- Bye, Sport!
- Bye Brad, not too late!
322
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,700
Brad, turn it off. I have company.
323
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,220
Who cares?
324
00:18:05,949 --> 00:18:08,513
Go play your computer 'coz
next time I won't aim so high.
325
00:18:11,186 --> 00:18:12,195
Sorry, I think he's adopted.
326
00:18:12,641 --> 00:18:14,344
Yeah, must be rough...
327
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:18,912
But even having a jerk as a younger brother is
better than not having one at all.
328
00:18:22,903 --> 00:18:26,036
You go to high school
full of fear and excitement
329
00:18:26,037 --> 00:18:29,436
so many emotions that your body can barely handle
all the things racing through it
330
00:18:29,546 --> 00:18:33,253
And then it gets worse just when you thought
it couldn't get any more complicated
331
00:18:33,691 --> 00:18:35,986
Why wasn't I like my friends?
332
00:18:35,986 --> 00:18:37,264
Why wasn't I like everyone else?
333
00:18:37,264 --> 00:18:39,516
Why couldn't I just like a boy named Ned?
334
00:18:39,949 --> 00:18:41,060
I was in trouble.
335
00:18:41,434 --> 00:18:43,113
Big, big trouble.
336
00:18:43,331 --> 00:18:44,879
I had a crush on a girl.
337
00:19:01,503 --> 00:19:02,673
Hey, Jane!
338
00:19:02,691 --> 00:19:04,883
Oh hey, you know Taylor right?
339
00:19:04,983 --> 00:19:05,395
Yeah.
340
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:07,295
- Hi.
- How're things?
341
00:19:07,395 --> 00:19:08,380
Good.
342
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,480
All right, see you later.
343
00:19:12,779 --> 00:19:14,357
Boy, does he have a crush on you?
344
00:19:14,388 --> 00:19:16,021
No, he doesn't.
345
00:19:16,021 --> 00:19:17,021
Yes, he does.
346
00:19:17,699 --> 00:19:19,079
I don't blame him.
347
00:19:24,096 --> 00:19:26,347
Did anyone have trouble with "Wuthering heights"?
348
00:19:26,896 --> 00:19:28,109
Kate?
349
00:19:28,109 --> 00:19:31,330
I thought it was hard to read 'coz it was so sad.
350
00:19:30,943 --> 00:19:33,600
Anyone else? Grant?
351
00:19:33,605 --> 00:19:36,528
I thought it was too much about
love and should have had more story�
352
00:19:38,697 --> 00:19:39,583
Jane?
353
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:44,564
I think all the greatest stories
ever written were about love
354
00:19:44,564 --> 00:19:46,564
no matter what plot they're wrapped in...
355
00:19:47,935 --> 00:19:48,779
Jane's right,
356
00:19:49,304 --> 00:19:50,811
love is complicated
357
00:19:51,238 --> 00:19:52,678
and with that sadness
358
00:19:53,012 --> 00:19:54,460
is great beauty.
359
00:19:55,308 --> 00:19:56,545
But how about next time,
360
00:19:56,545 --> 00:19:59,545
I'll give you something a little more fun to read
361
00:20:14,344 --> 00:20:15,837
Jane, what are you doing here?
362
00:20:17,274 --> 00:20:18,944
Well, you haven't been in school
363
00:20:19,223 --> 00:20:21,443
and I called a couple of times...I was worried.
364
00:20:22,853 --> 00:20:24,962
I wanted to come by and see if you were ok.
365
00:20:27,122 --> 00:20:28,115
Are you ok?
366
00:20:28,132 --> 00:20:29,222
Yeah, I'm fine.
367
00:20:29,224 --> 00:20:31,322
I just can't come to school for a while
368
00:20:31,390 --> 00:20:34,660
Taylor? Taylor, where are you?
369
00:20:35,297 --> 00:20:38,385
You don't come in right now,
you are going to be so sorry.
370
00:20:38,803 --> 00:20:42,250
You hear me? I'm your
mother for god's sake...
371
00:20:42,550 --> 00:20:44,493
Look, you shouldn't have come, ok?
I'll call you when I can.
372
00:20:44,625 --> 00:20:45,625
Taylor!
373
00:20:52,695 --> 00:20:54,959
At that moment, I thank god for my mother.
374
00:21:11,636 --> 00:21:15,066
Maybe the reason Taylor seems so
much more grownup than the rest of us
375
00:21:15,223 --> 00:21:18,448
was because she was forced to grow up faster
than the rest of us.
376
00:21:20,923 --> 00:21:22,301
Hey
377
00:21:22,301 --> 00:21:23,301
Hey
378
00:21:24,303 --> 00:21:27,885
Hummm, I was wonder if maybe
we can get together sometime,
379
00:21:28,557 --> 00:21:29,946
movies or something.
380
00:21:30,928 --> 00:21:32,401
Why couldn't I just say yes?
381
00:21:33,032 --> 00:21:34,590
My life would've been so much easier.
382
00:21:35,563 --> 00:21:37,121
I like you, Ned,
383
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:39,277
but...I don't really wanna a boyfriend right now.
384
00:21:40,725 --> 00:21:42,972
That's ok. How about friend?
385
00:21:44,596 --> 00:21:45,458
Ok
386
00:21:49,570 --> 00:21:51,501
Hey Jane.
Why aren't you talking?
387
00:21:52,292 --> 00:21:54,242
What could I possibly have to say to you?
388
00:21:54,515 --> 00:21:56,194
Jane, what's the matter with you?
389
00:21:56,194 --> 00:21:57,194
Nothing
390
00:21:57,194 --> 00:21:57,953
Hey Sport,
wanna pass the salt?
391
00:21:57,953 --> 00:21:59,854
Well, something's the matter with you
392
00:21:59,854 --> 00:22:00,854
'coz you've been snapping everybody lately.
393
00:22:01,139 --> 00:22:02,681
I told you nothing is wrong.
394
00:22:05,353 --> 00:22:06,670
I wish I could've told her
395
00:22:06,670 --> 00:22:08,670
that I had so many feelings running through me,
396
00:22:09,206 --> 00:22:10,788
things I didn't even understand.
397
00:22:11,552 --> 00:22:13,166
But I couldn't tell her.
398
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:15,166
I didn't even know how to put it into words.
399
00:22:15,679 --> 00:22:17,854
- Can I be excused?
- No, stay and finish your dinner.
400
00:22:18,683 --> 00:22:19,516
I'm not hungry.
401
00:22:20,694 --> 00:22:22,198
You can go Jane. You're excused.
402
00:22:28,550 --> 00:22:29,941
If I say one thing
403
00:22:29,941 --> 00:22:31,941
don't undercut me and say another.
404
00:22:31,941 --> 00:22:33,721
Why do you always have to have the last word?
405
00:22:34,124 --> 00:22:35,000
I don't.
406
00:22:41,030 --> 00:22:41,924
Come in.
407
00:22:45,006 --> 00:22:46,874
I probably should've let you just go to your room.
408
00:22:48,549 --> 00:22:49,558
But I got upset.
409
00:22:50,932 --> 00:22:53,186
You haven't been yourself lately...
I worry about you.
410
00:22:53,609 --> 00:22:58,014
I know you do.
It's just growing pains.
411
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,892
You know you can tell me anything.
412
00:23:02,263 --> 00:23:03,632
You may find this difficult to believe
413
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:05,632
but I actually went through this myself once.
414
00:23:07,317 --> 00:23:09,143
I'm your mother, I'm your friend,
I just wanna help you.
415
00:23:09,592 --> 00:23:10,423
It's ok.
416
00:23:11,151 --> 00:23:12,229
Don't worry.
417
00:23:15,522 --> 00:23:17,635
Your friend Taylor's here.
You up for company?
418
00:23:18,069 --> 00:23:18,543
Yeah
419
00:23:18,543 --> 00:23:22,543
You would've had to been blind
not to see me light up at Taylor's name.
420
00:23:22,543 --> 00:23:24,543
But thank god parents
don't have a clue sometimes.
421
00:23:24,543 --> 00:23:27,701
If a kid were drunk or stoned
and fell over in front of them
422
00:23:27,701 --> 00:23:30,701
they'd convince themselves
that was an inner-ear problem.
423
00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:45,908
Hi.
424
00:23:45,908 --> 00:23:46,908
Hi.
425
00:23:46,908 --> 00:23:48,682
Are you ok?
426
00:23:49,277 --> 00:23:50,088
No
427
00:24:08,498 --> 00:24:10,266
I know my mom's having a rough time
428
00:24:10,889 --> 00:24:12,000
taking care of me
429
00:24:12,699 --> 00:24:16,016
and making ends meet
430
00:24:16,582 --> 00:24:17,535
but
431
00:24:18,161 --> 00:24:19,814
it never gets any better.
432
00:24:21,643 --> 00:24:23,299
She blames me for the divorce.
433
00:24:25,767 --> 00:24:27,381
When she looks at me
434
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,153
she sees him
435
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,215
and she goes crazy�
436
00:24:38,112 --> 00:24:38,982
I...
437
00:24:39,946 --> 00:24:41,685
I could take the hitting
438
00:24:41,685 --> 00:24:43,685
if I just knew that someday it might stop.
439
00:24:56,108 --> 00:24:57,408
You'll be ok.
440
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:54,016
Did this make me gay?
441
00:25:54,018 --> 00:25:54,808
No
442
00:25:54,808 --> 00:25:57,857
It's just an innocent crush, a phase.
443
00:25:57,857 --> 00:26:00,400
At least that's what I kept telling myself.
444
00:26:00,409 --> 00:26:03,000
But I also know that it
was the first moment in my life
445
00:26:03,001 --> 00:26:05,500
that I ever felt connected to someone.
446
00:26:09,541 --> 00:26:11,395
What do you say I pick you up after school?
we go somewhere...
447
00:26:12,213 --> 00:26:12,950
Like where?
448
00:26:12,990 --> 00:26:14,950
I don't know. Anywhere you want.
449
00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:17,448
Oh, I can't.
I have plans with Taylor.
450
00:26:18,524 --> 00:26:20,731
Don't get me wrong, I really like Taylor...
451
00:26:20,732 --> 00:26:22,541
But what happen to Elizabeth, Besty and Claire?
452
00:26:22,541 --> 00:26:24,200
You hardly ever see them anymore.
453
00:26:24,202 --> 00:26:26,113
They're still my friends.
I just...
454
00:26:26,123 --> 00:26:27,613
have a new one.
455
00:26:57,386 --> 00:26:58,810
I knew I was hurting my old friends
456
00:26:58,810 --> 00:27:00,810
but they will never gonna get along with Taylor.
457
00:27:01,424 --> 00:27:03,700
I had to choose, and with the feelings I had for her
458
00:27:03,702 --> 00:27:04,604
She was bound to win.
459
00:27:13,535 --> 00:27:14,982
I'm really glad I moved here.
460
00:27:16,650 --> 00:27:17,425
I am too.
461
00:27:22,187 --> 00:27:24,633
Do you think Taylor's awfully mature for her age?
462
00:27:25,189 --> 00:27:26,179
No, not really.
463
00:27:26,563 --> 00:27:29,886
Mmmm, I think Jane's been spending far
too much time with her.
464
00:27:29,991 --> 00:27:31,000
It's not healthy.
465
00:27:31,002 --> 00:27:32,241
Why, they're friends.
466
00:27:32,254 --> 00:27:36,941
Well she hasn't been seeing her other friends...
dating... she's almost 16, for god's sakes.
467
00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:38,615
Can we talk about this some other time?
468
00:27:38,617 --> 00:27:42,149
She should be going out with boys.
She should be giving us a heart attack by now.
469
00:27:42,152 --> 00:27:44,677
Yeah, well. You're not
gonna win me over to your side.
470
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,177
I'm not. Why?
471
00:27:46,177 --> 00:27:50,177
'coz I'd prefer it if Jane never
dated a boy for as long as she lived.
472
00:27:50,177 --> 00:27:51,172
You just...
473
00:27:51,699 --> 00:27:52,905
You know what boys want.
474
00:27:52,905 --> 00:27:54,905
What was your name again?
475
00:27:56,287 --> 00:27:57,631
Finals are just around the corner.
476
00:27:57,631 --> 00:27:59,981
If you need help studying, just ask.
477
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:02,792
And I'll stay late and help you.
So, just let me know ok?
478
00:28:05,463 --> 00:28:06,650
I love you too.
479
00:28:07,226 --> 00:28:09,246
It didn't matter how much they liked Ms. Walcott
480
00:28:09,246 --> 00:28:12,246
Kids are like pavlovian dogs.
When they hear the bell, they gotta go.
481
00:28:13,150 --> 00:28:15,436
So my mom's out of town
tonight, you wanna come over?
482
00:28:16,417 --> 00:28:17,054
Sure.
483
00:28:21,793 --> 00:28:24,500
It would've been nice if you had told me
before I made dinner
484
00:28:24,505 --> 00:28:26,500
that you wouldn't be home for it.
485
00:28:26,524 --> 00:28:27,542
What's the big deal?
486
00:28:28,188 --> 00:28:29,227
What's the big deal?
487
00:28:29,227 --> 00:28:31,227
I cook all day for this family which you are a part of.
488
00:28:31,894 --> 00:28:34,449
You cook every night...
Like I said, what's the big whoop?
489
00:28:34,455 --> 00:28:36,184
Excuse me, what's the big whoop?
490
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:38,935
You just watch your tone with me, young lady.
491
00:28:38,935 --> 00:28:42,135
Boy, you are turning into such a smart ass.
492
00:28:42,235 --> 00:28:43,935
You were never like this when you
were around your other friends.
493
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,370
What? You wanna blame this on Taylor?
494
00:28:46,495 --> 00:28:48,500
You know what you can't stand is that
I'd rather be with her...
495
00:28:48,500 --> 00:28:49,689
than with you.
496
00:29:02,670 --> 00:29:03,727
What was I doing there?
497
00:29:04,023 --> 00:29:06,026
I still had time to leave. She would never have know.
498
00:29:06,782 --> 00:29:08,823
I could have said I had food poisoning
499
00:29:09,323 --> 00:29:11,516
or cramps
That's a good one...cramps.
500
00:29:12,289 --> 00:29:13,590
Who was I kidding?
501
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,328
I wanted to be there, ready or not.
502
00:29:43,073 --> 00:29:44,428
Are you sure you wanna do this?
503
00:29:46,315 --> 00:29:47,221
No
504
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:50,400
Do you want me to stop?
505
00:29:53,494 --> 00:29:54,509
No
506
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:09,125
I was so terrified that I thought
I'd have a heart attack...
507
00:30:09,675 --> 00:30:10,926
I wanted her to stop...
508
00:30:12,324 --> 00:30:14,422
No I didn't...
Yes I did...
509
00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:17,709
No I didn't...
510
00:30:39,674 --> 00:30:42,499
It�s hard enough having sex
for the first time with anyone
511
00:30:42,499 --> 00:30:44,499
but when you do it with a girl...
512
00:30:44,499 --> 00:30:45,583
you're just asking for it.
513
00:30:50,490 --> 00:30:51,781
Hey
514
00:30:52,927 --> 00:30:54,057
Are you OK?
515
00:30:56,257 --> 00:30:57,511
No
516
00:30:57,511 --> 00:31:01,511
I think what happened was a mistake
and that it shouldn't have happened.
517
00:31:02,213 --> 00:31:02,805
Why?
518
00:31:03,958 --> 00:31:06,175
I don't know, because it isn't normal?
519
00:31:06,802 --> 00:31:07,898
So what's normal?
520
00:31:09,991 --> 00:31:10,866
I guess...
521
00:31:11,274 --> 00:31:12,625
going out with boys?
522
00:31:13,372 --> 00:31:16,325
And that if you go out with a girl
you might be gay, which I don't think that I am...
523
00:31:16,386 --> 00:31:18,004
OK. First of all it doesn't make you gay.
524
00:31:18,660 --> 00:31:20,387
And even if you were, what's the big deal?
525
00:31:22,377 --> 00:31:23,952
Everything
526
00:31:24,834 --> 00:31:25,834
Fine.
527
00:31:25,834 --> 00:31:27,918
Go back to your boring little friends then.
528
00:32:06,747 --> 00:32:07,900
Are you ok?
529
00:32:09,738 --> 00:32:12,554
No. Could you take me home?
I don't feel good.
530
00:32:12,936 --> 00:32:13,729
Yeah. Sure.
531
00:32:17,243 --> 00:32:20,081
...her own life and her own friends, she just
doesn't want to be around her mother anymore.
532
00:32:20,485 --> 00:32:22,720
Of course she doesn�t want to be around you!
533
00:32:22,725 --> 00:32:25,832
I mean, she's a teenager do you blame her?
534
00:32:26,143 --> 00:32:27,396
Thank you for those kind words.
535
00:32:27,512 --> 00:32:30,987
Janice, none of us wanted to be around
our mothers when we were teenagers.
536
00:32:31,108 --> 00:32:31,986
This is different.
537
00:32:32,282 --> 00:32:33,561
- How?
- I don't know
538
00:32:34,095 --> 00:32:35,353
I just wish she was still a baby
539
00:32:35,669 --> 00:32:37,231
Why?
540
00:32:37,231 --> 00:32:39,231
So she'd need you? That is sick.
541
00:32:39,561 --> 00:32:43,431
I mean you should be thrilled that
she's a person with her own ideas
542
00:32:43,690 --> 00:32:45,500
and dreams and goals.
543
00:32:45,502 --> 00:32:46,320
Oh, I'm not.
544
00:32:46,330 --> 00:32:48,620
Oh look at the bright side, you
still have Brad to suffocate.
545
00:32:48,784 --> 00:32:49,847
He's a boy.
546
00:32:50,318 --> 00:32:52,557
He won't need his mother until
he gets his first apartment
547
00:32:52,557 --> 00:32:53,757
and need someone to decorate it for him.
548
00:32:55,933 --> 00:32:58,639
You can laugh all you want
but she's hurting and I can't help her.
549
00:32:58,627 --> 00:32:59,600
and she won't talk to me.
550
00:32:59,739 --> 00:33:04,039
Well, maybe she needs to sort through
things herself, and then she'll talk to you.
551
00:33:04,050 --> 00:33:05,764
Yeah just give her some time
552
00:33:05,768 --> 00:33:07,740
I mean and take comfort in the fact
553
00:33:07,742 --> 00:33:11,764
that you are the millionth mother to
go through the exact same thing this week.
554
00:33:12,031 --> 00:33:14,056
And to think I used to enjoy these lunches.
555
00:33:14,783 --> 00:33:16,372
Check
556
00:33:20,986 --> 00:33:22,176
Hi
557
00:33:25,077 --> 00:33:25,877
Hi.
558
00:33:27,774 --> 00:33:28,612
Could we talk?
559
00:33:29,228 --> 00:33:30,174
About what?
560
00:33:31,447 --> 00:33:32,415
About us.
561
00:33:33,771 --> 00:33:35,527
I got scared Taylor, I�m sorry.
562
00:33:36,504 --> 00:33:38,993
- I�d like another chance.
- There is no us Jane.
563
00:33:40,311 --> 00:33:42,677
I want to be with people who
are sure they want to be with me.
564
00:33:53,098 --> 00:33:54,767
Come on Jane, come with me, ok?
565
00:34:07,184 --> 00:34:10,547
- Whatever it is Jane, it'll be ok.
- No it won't.
566
00:34:11,633 --> 00:34:13,483
You just got to pull yourself together.
567
00:34:14,263 --> 00:34:15,160
I can't.
568
00:34:16,137 --> 00:34:19,268
In a little while, you'll feel
better with whatever it is that's upsetting you.
569
00:34:19,270 --> 00:34:20,858
You�ll see, things'll change.
570
00:34:21,786 --> 00:34:23,148
I don't want to feel better.
571
00:34:24,546 --> 00:34:27,564
And when something's happened
it doesn't change.
572
00:34:29,876 --> 00:34:31,045
You wanna talk about it?
573
00:34:33,784 --> 00:34:35,974
Fine, you wanna know what I'm upset about?
574
00:34:36,858 --> 00:34:39,380
I slept with someone for the first time.
575
00:34:41,098 --> 00:34:42,905
That can be traumatic for everyone.
576
00:34:44,315 --> 00:34:46,613
No I think it was more traumatic for me.
577
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:48,941
We broke up already.
578
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,566
Is that what you wanted to do?
579
00:34:51,566 --> 00:34:52,091
No.
580
00:34:53,134 --> 00:34:55,524
But that's what I did because I�m a coward.
581
00:34:56,023 --> 00:34:56,883
No you�re not.
582
00:35:00,256 --> 00:35:02,251
In our first sexual experience
583
00:35:03,338 --> 00:35:07,791
we sometimes invest ourselves
wisely and sometimes foolishly
584
00:35:07,791 --> 00:35:08,791
and it doesn�t matter which
585
00:35:09,258 --> 00:35:11,606
because in the end the investment's the same
586
00:35:13,787 --> 00:35:15,482
but if you want to be with them
587
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:16,859
you gotta tell them that.
588
00:35:17,016 --> 00:35:17,942
I did.
589
00:35:18,596 --> 00:35:19,945
They�ve moved on.
590
00:35:21,029 --> 00:35:23,480
But if you don�t try again
you'll never forgive yourself.
591
00:35:26,646 --> 00:35:27,938
My advice to you is...
592
00:35:28,792 --> 00:35:31,205
I'd write them a letter
593
00:35:31,205 --> 00:35:33,205
and I'd tell them why you did what you did
and how you really feel.
594
00:35:48,001 --> 00:35:50,995
Honey you have to eat.
595
00:35:51,896 --> 00:35:52,907
I�m not hungry.
596
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,262
I know I know I know I sound
like a broken record but...
597
00:35:57,274 --> 00:35:58,445
I�m just trying to help.
598
00:35:59,660 --> 00:36:01,074
Can't you tell me what's going on?
599
00:36:01,348 --> 00:36:02,870
I just want to be left alone.
600
00:36:03,448 --> 00:36:04,570
Please�
601
00:36:07,050 --> 00:36:07,601
Okay
602
00:36:16,855 --> 00:36:19,128
Taylor my life changed the moment I met you�
603
00:36:19,864 --> 00:36:21,701
Only I was too stupid to see it.
604
00:36:22,043 --> 00:36:24,739
Actually I was scared and I�m sorry for that.
605
00:36:25,418 --> 00:36:27,618
You took my breath away and it frightened me.
606
00:36:28,470 --> 00:36:30,999
I�m not frightened anymore
and I�d like another chance.
607
00:36:36,636 --> 00:36:37,686
Hey Jane
608
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:38,762
Hey
609
00:36:38,762 --> 00:36:40,162
What�s going on?
610
00:36:40,524 --> 00:36:41,093
Nothing
611
00:36:41,994 --> 00:36:43,577
What happened to your friend Taylor?
612
00:36:43,665 --> 00:36:45,305
I haven't seen you with her lately.
613
00:36:46,150 --> 00:36:47,002
She isn't around.
614
00:36:47,367 --> 00:36:48,846
Guess she has a new friend, eh?
615
00:36:51,522 --> 00:36:52,082
I gotta go.
616
00:36:52,849 --> 00:36:55,229
I wanted to like them again
but boy, they made it hard.
617
00:36:59,004 --> 00:37:01,026
Now, is everyone gonna behave themselves?
618
00:37:01,677 --> 00:37:03,289
I am. Not sure about her, though.
619
00:37:03,514 --> 00:37:05,842
Don�t press your luck Brad,
it's really a bad idea.
620
00:37:06,061 --> 00:37:08,841
You want to live to see your fifteenth birthday,
don't you, Sport?
621
00:37:09,842 --> 00:37:10,652
Bye now.
622
00:37:11,882 --> 00:37:12,714
Bye kid.
623
00:37:20,287 --> 00:37:21,076
What?
624
00:37:47,873 --> 00:37:49,234
- Hi
- Hi
625
00:37:51,097 --> 00:37:52,012
I got your letter.
626
00:37:53,247 --> 00:37:54,647
Can we talk privately?
627
00:37:55,684 --> 00:37:56,353
Yeah
628
00:38:06,387 --> 00:38:08,531
No I should have known this
was gonna be hard for you.
629
00:38:09,903 --> 00:38:10,964
For anyone�
630
00:38:11,342 --> 00:38:13,654
and I'm sorry I took it so personally.
631
00:38:14,868 --> 00:38:15,829
I was hurt.
632
00:38:16,728 --> 00:38:19,345
but then I got your letter, it was... beautiful.
633
00:38:19,814 --> 00:38:21,831
I thought you were dating someone else.
634
00:38:21,831 --> 00:38:23,831
There was never anyone else.
635
00:38:36,316 --> 00:38:41,615
Whose little brother who's in the same class
our ex-friend Jane's little brother
636
00:38:41,615 --> 00:38:45,200
knows the most disgusting thing ever about Jane.
637
00:38:45,892 --> 00:38:46,902
Tell, tell!
638
00:38:47,752 --> 00:38:50,868
Someone saw Jane and Taylor kissing.
639
00:38:51,851 --> 00:38:52,858
Shut up!
640
00:38:52,858 --> 00:38:54,285
I swear.
641
00:38:58,461 --> 00:38:59,107
I�ll get it.
642
00:39:01,299 --> 00:39:02,164
Hello
643
00:39:03,367 --> 00:39:04,616
Yes this is she�
644
00:39:06,464 --> 00:39:07,392
What?
645
00:39:08,071 --> 00:39:08,989
Who is this?
646
00:39:13,928 --> 00:39:14,873
Who is this?
647
00:39:16,601 --> 00:39:19,237
But... is this some kind of sick joke�
Where...
648
00:39:22,227 --> 00:39:24,249
Who is this? Where did you
hear such a thing? Hello?
649
00:39:25,801 --> 00:39:27,558
When I said it was a phase, it wasn't.
650
00:39:27,939 --> 00:39:30,603
I was gay, with or without Taylor.
651
00:39:31,061 --> 00:39:32,859
I knew it deep down for a long time.
652
00:39:33,666 --> 00:39:37,493
But what my mother didn't know is that
I was exactly who I was meant to be.
653
00:39:37,968 --> 00:39:39,102
Whether she liked it or not.
654
00:39:42,314 --> 00:39:43,698
What kind of person would do such a thing?
655
00:39:44,068 --> 00:39:46,243
It�s probably just a kid
making a prank phone call.
656
00:39:46,381 --> 00:39:49,477
No no no no no this was
no kid's slander, it....
657
00:39:49,477 --> 00:39:51,877
Calm down, it's just gossip.
There's nothing to it.
658
00:39:51,885 --> 00:39:54,171
- Why would anyone say such a thing?
- I don't know
659
00:39:54,224 --> 00:39:58,190
Why would anyone call up a total stranger and say
�Oh your sixteen year old child is a lesbian�.
660
00:39:58,426 --> 00:39:59,706
Oh, people are so sick.
661
00:40:00,209 --> 00:40:01,106
Maybe...hum...
662
00:40:03,254 --> 00:40:06,004
Maybe...she was learning how to kiss.
663
00:40:06,149 --> 00:40:06,991
What?
664
00:40:07,491 --> 00:40:08,591
Girls do that, don't they?
665
00:40:08,691 --> 00:40:10,691
They practice. Maybe
that's what she was doing.
666
00:40:11,117 --> 00:40:11,296
We should ask her.
667
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,596
Why should we upset her
with these vicious lies?
668
00:40:14,726 --> 00:40:16,066
We have to protect her.
669
00:40:16,365 --> 00:40:17,637
Whoever called us...
670
00:40:18,137 --> 00:40:19,812
might start calling her friends.
671
00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:26,946
Come in.
672
00:40:29,604 --> 00:40:30,630
- Hi
- Hi
673
00:40:34,410 --> 00:40:35,409
Honey, we need to talk.
674
00:40:36,256 --> 00:40:37,202
Yes
675
00:40:37,751 --> 00:40:38,800
We got a phone call�
676
00:40:39,261 --> 00:40:40,792
A very disturbing phone call�
677
00:40:41,335 --> 00:40:42,535
And...
678
00:40:43,381 --> 00:40:46,966
We know it isn't true, but...
we felt we should talk to you about it�
679
00:40:46,966 --> 00:40:48,743
because, um...
680
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,943
We felt we should warn you.
681
00:40:52,421 --> 00:40:54,210
Warn me about what?
682
00:41:00,031 --> 00:41:00,545
What?
683
00:41:02,952 --> 00:41:05,397
We don't know who called, honey,
but...
684
00:41:07,093 --> 00:41:08,367
They said that...
685
00:41:08,934 --> 00:41:10,001
You were a lesbian.
686
00:41:13,362 --> 00:41:15,433
They said that someone had seen you
687
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:17,722
kissing Taylor...
688
00:41:22,563 --> 00:41:24,239
We know it's just vicious gossip.
689
00:41:26,334 --> 00:41:29,591
You could tell from the way she said it, that
the thought of it was out of the question.
690
00:41:30,319 --> 00:41:33,783
I was frozen with fear, I wanted
so badly to tell the truth
691
00:41:33,783 --> 00:41:35,783
but I was so afraid of losing my parents.
692
00:41:36,782 --> 00:41:37,743
I couldn't speak.
693
00:41:38,187 --> 00:41:40,058
Is it possible...
694
00:41:40,182 --> 00:41:41,959
that you kissed Taylor,
695
00:41:42,539 --> 00:41:45,184
that...you were...
696
00:41:45,184 --> 00:41:47,084
practicing with her?
697
00:41:55,436 --> 00:41:58,078
Yeah...that's what we were doing.
698
00:42:00,334 --> 00:42:01,637
It won't happen again
699
00:42:05,285 --> 00:42:07,001
Oh...well...
700
00:42:08,269 --> 00:42:10,161
We didn't mean to upset you, honey,
but...
701
00:42:10,697 --> 00:42:13,200
there are some really nasty people in this world.
702
00:42:13,266 --> 00:42:14,886
Don�t worry about it, baby.
703
00:42:14,967 --> 00:42:17,806
We love you.
Good night, sweetie.
704
00:42:18,207 --> 00:42:19,997
Sweet dreams.
705
00:42:20,809 --> 00:42:21,432
Good night.
706
00:42:28,604 --> 00:42:30,246
I used the word "coward" before
707
00:42:30,935 --> 00:42:33,865
but I never really understood
what it was meant until that moment.
708
00:42:34,509 --> 00:42:37,625
I was ashamed of my feelings
because of what someone else might think
709
00:42:38,659 --> 00:42:40,132
I made myself sick.
710
00:42:49,273 --> 00:42:50,466
Come on in, baby.
711
00:42:51,398 --> 00:42:52,790
You don't look so good.
712
00:43:01,392 --> 00:43:03,619
Ok...tell me what's going on?
713
00:43:06,930 --> 00:43:11,556
My mom got this anonymous phone call
saying they saw me kissing a girl
714
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:13,924
And I told her it wasn't true.
715
00:43:16,516 --> 00:43:17,787
Okay, you lost me.
716
00:43:18,214 --> 00:43:20,089
Sounds like you have no problem.
717
00:43:21,723 --> 00:43:22,987
I lied to her.
718
00:43:24,621 --> 00:43:25,983
I was kissing a girl,
719
00:43:26,274 --> 00:43:27,697
I slept with a girl,
720
00:43:28,342 --> 00:43:31,141
but the way...she was talking about it...
721
00:43:31,241 --> 00:43:34,211
I knew if I had told her the
truth, that she�d hate me.
722
00:43:38,386 --> 00:43:40,253
I think I'm gay Jimmy.
723
00:43:42,772 --> 00:43:43,876
It�s ok.
724
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,952
Sometimes it's easier not to tell the truth�
725
00:43:47,634 --> 00:43:49,226
Don�t be so hard on yourself.
726
00:43:49,226 --> 00:43:50,745
I don't know what to do.
727
00:43:51,941 --> 00:43:54,086
You�re the only gay person I�ve ever known.
728
00:43:54,267 --> 00:43:55,282
Don�t worry.
729
00:43:55,590 --> 00:43:56,950
It happens to all of us.
730
00:43:57,569 --> 00:44:00,860
First time someone suspects or calls us a name.
731
00:44:01,157 --> 00:44:03,331
It�s the "don't ask-don't tell" moment.
732
00:44:03,568 --> 00:44:05,495
What if my parents find out?
733
00:44:06,032 --> 00:44:09,425
If people find out? They're all gonna hate me.
734
00:44:09,924 --> 00:44:11,595
Honey, I'm black and I'm gay.
735
00:44:11,820 --> 00:44:14,269
They hate me way more than they'll hate you.
736
00:44:19,152 --> 00:44:20,203
Well what did you do?
737
00:44:20,716 --> 00:44:22,378
You get a thick skin.
738
00:44:23,151 --> 00:44:26,737
I've had one since I was a baby.
Cause I had to have it.
739
00:44:27,483 --> 00:44:29,728
I don't take personally anymore.
740
00:44:29,976 --> 00:44:32,732
Because I know it's based
on ignorance and fear
741
00:44:32,942 --> 00:44:36,255
and it ain't even about me, really,
it's about them.
742
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,396
I don't wanna hurt my mother.
743
00:44:43,287 --> 00:44:46,031
But I don't know how long
I can keep this a secret.
744
00:44:46,792 --> 00:44:48,319
You'll know when time is right.
745
00:44:52,584 --> 00:44:54,255
Maybe it will be ok.
746
00:44:55,464 --> 00:44:58,903
And you've been friends with my mother
for a long time and she accepted you
747
00:44:59,152 --> 00:45:00,785
Yeah, but you're her baby.
748
00:45:01,256 --> 00:45:04,735
Mothers and daughters are
about as complicated as it gets�
749
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:12,262
Jimmy please don't tell my
mother anything I�ve told you.
750
00:45:14,602 --> 00:45:15,948
Not a word.
751
00:45:25,730 --> 00:45:27,948
I was so glad Jimmy was in the world.
752
00:45:32,639 --> 00:45:34,706
It's ok Jane, just keep walking.
753
00:45:35,725 --> 00:45:37,835
- Hey lesbos!
- Punk!
754
00:45:37,957 --> 00:45:40,193
We were about to reenact the children's hour.
755
00:45:51,110 --> 00:45:53,283
Now stop all this nonsense all of you.
756
00:45:53,639 --> 00:45:55,088
Open your books�
757
00:46:00,386 --> 00:46:01,729
So what are you guys doing this weekend?
758
00:46:02,279 --> 00:46:04,645
I'm going with Jeff and his
parents, play miniature golf.
759
00:46:06,605 --> 00:46:07,492
Jane, what about you?
760
00:46:08,030 --> 00:46:10,518
- I'm gonna see Taylor.
- I'd prefer it if you didn't see that girl.
761
00:46:11,438 --> 00:46:13,002
She's not a girl mom.
762
00:46:13,007 --> 00:46:15,002
She's a dyke!
763
00:46:18,267 --> 00:46:19,629
- Jane!
- Cut it out! Jane!
764
00:46:20,082 --> 00:46:21,308
Get off! Get off!
765
00:46:22,220 --> 00:46:24,790
-Jane, go to your own room!
-Why? He started it!
766
00:46:24,790 --> 00:46:26,090
Why doesn't he have to go to his room?
767
00:46:26,090 --> 00:46:27,390
Cause I'm not a dyke!
768
00:46:27,849 --> 00:46:29,586
- Go to your room!
- Go to your room, right now!
769
00:46:30,072 --> 00:46:30,904
Come on! Come on!
770
00:46:32,321 --> 00:46:34,201
You can't just attack your brother like that!
771
00:46:34,382 --> 00:46:35,446
You just can't do that!
772
00:46:36,352 --> 00:46:39,756
It was now and never, and
I would've preferred never�
773
00:46:39,905 --> 00:46:42,881
It was out of control
and I had to do something.
774
00:46:42,991 --> 00:46:46,881
So I took the deepest breath
I�ve ever taken in my entire life.
775
00:46:48,698 --> 00:46:49,987
He's younger than you are!
776
00:46:50,318 --> 00:46:52,991
The next time he says something off, you
just let it roll off your back.
777
00:46:52,996 --> 00:46:55,806
-This is just gossip.
-It's not just gossip!
778
00:47:00,379 --> 00:47:01,997
I lied to the two of you
779
00:47:02,830 --> 00:47:05,142
because I was afraid
780
00:47:06,792 --> 00:47:09,607
afraid that you'd hate me,
781
00:47:09,607 --> 00:47:11,607
afraid that you'd throw me out.
782
00:47:15,502 --> 00:47:16,825
I did kiss Taylor
783
00:47:18,413 --> 00:47:20,363
and I think I'm in love with her.
784
00:47:24,024 --> 00:47:25,187
But...
785
00:47:26,658 --> 00:47:27,953
She's a girl.
786
00:47:28,357 --> 00:47:30,326
- You don't know what you're saying.
- Yes, I do.
787
00:47:31,949 --> 00:47:33,767
But it's ok, because...
788
00:47:34,238 --> 00:47:36,694
Taylor is a really good person.
789
00:47:36,811 --> 00:47:38,275
That�s not the point.
790
00:47:39,758 --> 00:47:43,085
Why is it wrong for me to care about someone
791
00:47:43,090 --> 00:47:45,390
and for someone to care about me?
792
00:47:45,432 --> 00:47:46,705
Because it's not right!
793
00:47:47,446 --> 00:47:48,795
You... you don't have a clue.
794
00:47:49,174 --> 00:47:50,516
If you're saying that you're gay�
795
00:47:50,516 --> 00:47:52,716
You have no comprehension of what that means!
796
00:47:52,893 --> 00:47:54,366
I don't care anymore!
797
00:47:55,051 --> 00:47:56,106
It�s what I feel�
798
00:47:56,106 --> 00:47:58,106
It�s what you feel?
799
00:47:58,106 --> 00:47:59,883
How do you know what you feel?
800
00:47:59,883 --> 00:48:01,883
You�re a 16-year-old kid.
801
00:48:02,108 --> 00:48:03,032
Look, this is just a phase,
802
00:48:03,032 --> 00:48:04,032
and it's gonna stop right here.
803
00:48:04,032 --> 00:48:05,935
It�s not just phase!
804
00:48:10,812 --> 00:48:11,723
I'm gay!
805
00:48:16,059 --> 00:48:18,988
If you could just see it through my eyes
806
00:48:19,567 --> 00:48:23,316
to have someone you are care about,
care about you
807
00:48:23,768 --> 00:48:28,592
and they make you feel
not so alone in this world.
808
00:48:31,250 --> 00:48:33,504
Does it really matter who the person is?
809
00:48:33,588 --> 00:48:34,672
Of course it matters.
810
00:48:38,171 --> 00:48:39,454
Why?
811
00:48:40,344 --> 00:48:41,106
Why?
812
00:48:41,837 --> 00:48:44,013
And since when do you hate gay people.
813
00:48:44,013 --> 00:48:46,213
Jimmy's been your friend forever, and he's gay.
814
00:48:46,366 --> 00:48:47,768
He's not my daughter!
815
00:49:13,115 --> 00:49:15,497
I expected emergency rooms
816
00:49:15,764 --> 00:49:19,000
skinned knees, braces,
broken hearts, not this...
817
00:49:19,005 --> 00:49:20,013
this wasn't part of my plan.
818
00:49:20,013 --> 00:49:22,578
Yeah, I know, it wasn't
part of my plan either.
819
00:49:22,624 --> 00:49:24,390
What horrible thing did I do as a mother?
820
00:49:24,399 --> 00:49:26,733
No, you're a great mother.
It�s not about you.
821
00:49:26,733 --> 00:49:27,933
We have to do something Bobbie?
822
00:49:28,426 --> 00:49:31,062
The world is not a tolerant place.
823
00:49:31,908 --> 00:49:33,401
Her life could be ruined.
824
00:49:33,401 --> 00:49:34,401
I know..
825
00:49:35,653 --> 00:49:36,784
She's not a baby anymore.
826
00:49:36,684 --> 00:49:38,784
Yes she is�
827
00:49:41,844 --> 00:49:43,788
she's my baby�
828
00:49:44,859 --> 00:49:46,416
she's my child�
829
00:49:46,887 --> 00:49:48,319
You know she's my child too.
830
00:49:49,324 --> 00:49:51,359
Listen, I think we need to stay calm here.
831
00:49:51,518 --> 00:49:53,932
What are you saying? That
it's ok for her to be gay?
832
00:49:54,173 --> 00:49:55,414
No, it's not what I'm saying.
833
00:49:56,544 --> 00:49:58,992
Don�t you think I wanna walk her down the isle.
834
00:49:58,992 --> 00:50:00,992
Have grandchildren, just like you do?
835
00:50:01,105 --> 00:50:02,801
I don't want my child to be gay.
836
00:50:04,342 --> 00:50:05,517
But she's our daughter
837
00:50:06,295 --> 00:50:09,057
and we have to find a way to help her through this.
838
00:50:09,059 --> 00:50:10,993
I'm not going to help her through it.
839
00:50:12,242 --> 00:50:14,304
I'm not going to help her become a lesbian.
840
00:50:14,304 --> 00:50:16,304
I didn't ask you to do that!
841
00:50:16,653 --> 00:50:17,910
It�s not what I'm saying.
842
00:50:19,346 --> 00:50:21,311
But we can't just pretend
this isn't happening.
843
00:50:22,821 --> 00:50:24,207
We can't turn our backs on her.
844
00:50:26,292 --> 00:50:27,919
or let this tear us apart.
845
00:50:31,529 --> 00:50:32,785
What are we gonna do?
846
00:50:37,571 --> 00:50:39,929
Jane told us she was gay last night.
847
00:50:40,990 --> 00:50:41,981
I know.
848
00:50:42,878 --> 00:50:43,846
You know?
849
00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:45,212
How do you know?
850
00:50:46,394 --> 00:50:48,293
She came by here the other day and told me.
851
00:50:49,219 --> 00:50:50,241
She told you?
852
00:50:52,272 --> 00:50:53,562
Why didn't you tell me?
853
00:50:53,963 --> 00:50:56,950
Because it's her decision
to tell you, not mine.
854
00:50:57,194 --> 00:50:58,615
But you're my friend.
855
00:50:58,755 --> 00:51:00,012
You should've told me.
856
00:51:00,312 --> 00:51:03,554
She was terrified of losing you.
857
00:51:03,554 --> 00:51:04,698
Terrified that you'd hate her.
858
00:51:05,336 --> 00:51:08,101
She needed to tell you when she was ready.
859
00:51:08,474 --> 00:51:09,762
I have to do something.
860
00:51:09,802 --> 00:51:11,362
Like what?
861
00:51:11,362 --> 00:51:13,162
You�re friends with me.
862
00:51:13,164 --> 00:51:15,284
You love me and I'm a gay.
863
00:51:15,286 --> 00:51:16,984
Why can't you do that with Jane?
864
00:51:17,004 --> 00:51:19,710
'Cause I don't want her to have
as hard a life as you've had.
865
00:51:21,044 --> 00:51:23,160
It�s not your place to judge my life!
866
00:51:23,165 --> 00:51:24,740
or anyone else's�
867
00:51:24,745 --> 00:51:26,542
Jimmy!
868
00:51:26,642 --> 00:51:28,268
Oh come on.
869
00:51:28,268 --> 00:51:30,268
I'm not blind. I've been there.
870
00:51:30,268 --> 00:51:34,268
I've seen it, I've seen how cruel people
have been to you, how they've taunted you.
871
00:51:34,946 --> 00:51:38,637
Then your only concern should be
not to become one of those people.
872
00:51:39,759 --> 00:51:42,826
This is my life, this is who I am,
873
00:51:43,648 --> 00:51:46,287
and Jane should be able
to be who she is too
874
00:51:46,321 --> 00:51:48,438
even if it's not who you want her to be.
875
00:51:48,540 --> 00:51:49,748
No!
876
00:51:49,748 --> 00:51:51,850
As long as she is my responsibility
877
00:51:53,052 --> 00:51:54,577
I have a say in this.
878
00:51:55,944 --> 00:51:57,762
Janice, don't be like this
879
00:51:58,677 --> 00:52:00,837
or you'll regret it till the day you die.
880
00:52:05,123 --> 00:52:06,940
Then that will be my choice.
881
00:52:21,651 --> 00:52:24,200
Jane it really would be a
better use of our time together
882
00:52:24,202 --> 00:52:26,948
if you said something
during one of our sessions.
883
00:52:28,100 --> 00:52:29,592
Like what?
884
00:52:30,628 --> 00:52:32,220
Like why do you think you're here?
885
00:52:32,863 --> 00:52:35,995
Because my mother said I had to come,
and to shut her up I came.
886
00:52:36,990 --> 00:52:39,772
Sharing with you wasn't part of the deal.
887
00:52:39,972 --> 00:52:41,579
Why are you so mad at your mother?
888
00:52:42,422 --> 00:52:44,493
Oh, I don't know�
889
00:52:44,884 --> 00:52:47,989
Because she's a bigot.
890
00:52:48,949 --> 00:52:51,837
Well that�s good, that's a start.
891
00:52:52,412 --> 00:52:53,930
Really?
892
00:52:53,993 --> 00:52:55,519
Where to now?
893
00:53:00,552 --> 00:53:01,977
I'm at my wit's end, Beth.
894
00:53:02,187 --> 00:53:03,762
Therapy hasn't changed a thing.
895
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:05,662
I try to keep her away from Taylor
896
00:53:05,662 --> 00:53:06,662
but I can't lock her up
897
00:53:06,662 --> 00:53:08,784
and Jimmy's no help.
898
00:53:07,437 --> 00:53:10,784
He�s on Jane's side, of course.
899
00:53:15,237 --> 00:53:15,984
What?
900
00:53:16,973 --> 00:53:17,506
Nothing.
901
00:53:17,506 --> 00:53:18,506
What Beth?
902
00:53:19,958 --> 00:53:20,790
I don't know.
903
00:53:21,411 --> 00:53:23,716
You've always been so liberal-minded�
904
00:53:23,716 --> 00:53:25,116
I think that you're overreacting.
905
00:53:25,118 --> 00:53:27,116
It's probably just a phase
she's going through.
906
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:30,738
Oh, I pray that it is. Geez, what if it isn't?
What do I do then?
907
00:53:30,740 --> 00:53:32,938
Well then it isn't, and you accept it.
908
00:53:32,938 --> 00:53:35,662
She's your child Janice,
whatever happens you accept her.
909
00:53:35,830 --> 00:53:36,994
What if I can't.
910
00:53:37,459 --> 00:53:39,209
Well then you wouldn't
be a very good mother.
911
00:53:39,647 --> 00:53:40,440
Excuse me?
912
00:53:41,207 --> 00:53:44,551
This is coming from someone who has absolutely no
relationships, who isn't capable of them?
913
00:53:45,105 --> 00:53:47,135
How nice it must be for
you to judge me from afar.
914
00:53:47,028 --> 00:53:50,460
You asked for my opinion so don't
attack me cause you're mad at Jane.
915
00:53:50,562 --> 00:53:53,161
Maybe you should take a look
why this bothers you so much.
916
00:53:53,168 --> 00:53:55,462
I'm sorry, you know absolutely nothing about this.
917
00:53:55,862 --> 00:53:59,297
You know what? Why don't you just take your
condescending crap and peddle it somewhere else.
918
00:54:04,393 --> 00:54:05,582
So, how's therapy?
919
00:54:06,059 --> 00:54:07,576
Sucks.
920
00:54:07,657 --> 00:54:08,762
Do you have to go again?
921
00:54:09,235 --> 00:54:11,527
Yeah. My mother thinks it'll convert me.
922
00:54:11,620 --> 00:54:15,684
Heh. Believe me, if that were true, a
lot of queers would flock to therapists.
923
00:54:16,308 --> 00:54:18,811
I mean... life would be easier if we were straight.
924
00:54:20,809 --> 00:54:25,646
But who wants easy, right? Who wants to
fit into this mold? We're trailblazers
925
00:54:26,085 --> 00:54:27,631
unique unto ourselves.
926
00:54:28,170 --> 00:54:31,339
-We're special.
-Yeah. We're special alright.
927
00:54:31,875 --> 00:54:33,605
We can't even go anywhere.
928
00:54:34,571 --> 00:54:36,252
Nowhere is safe.
929
00:54:38,057 --> 00:54:39,852
Yes we can.
930
00:54:40,152 --> 00:54:41,902
Can you get out of the house Friday night?
931
00:54:43,173 --> 00:54:46,383
I will even if I have to
throw myself out my window.
932
00:54:58,083 --> 00:55:02,185
There can't be this many gay people in
this town, it isn't humanly possible.
933
00:55:02,285 --> 00:55:06,545
Oh we are everywhere in every city. We
just learn how to hide it better from people.
934
00:55:35,501 --> 00:55:37,935
- Where have you been?
- It's 4 in the morning.
935
00:55:37,993 --> 00:55:39,819
I was out. Let�s just leave it at that.
936
00:55:39,922 --> 00:55:41,895
No, we will not leave it at that.
937
00:55:41,905 --> 00:55:43,500
You are grounded for a month.
938
00:55:43,503 --> 00:55:46,082
We will take you to school, we
will pick you up from school.
939
00:55:46,082 --> 00:55:48,082
We will set our alarms
on the hour if we have to.
940
00:55:48,158 --> 00:55:49,667
That is what you have reduced us to.
941
00:55:49,667 --> 00:55:51,007
You can't do that.
942
00:55:51,009 --> 00:55:52,391
- Oh yes we can.
- Now go to your room.
943
00:55:57,045 --> 00:55:58,933
Acting out is a strange thing.
944
00:55:59,502 --> 00:56:00,975
No one ever wins�
945
00:56:01,183 --> 00:56:02,700
But you don't know that when you're doing it..
946
00:56:20,191 --> 00:56:21,810
Jane, we have to talk about this.
947
00:56:22,769 --> 00:56:23,971
What�s there to talk about?
948
00:56:24,542 --> 00:56:28,257
My mother can't look at me, you're disappointed
in me, what else is there to talk about?
949
00:56:28,851 --> 00:56:30,226
Fine, then I'll talk about it.
950
00:56:32,110 --> 00:56:33,618
You have to understand.
951
00:56:34,142 --> 00:56:36,420
This isn't just normal growing pains.
952
00:56:37,444 --> 00:56:39,914
This decision could inform the rest of your life.
953
00:56:40,445 --> 00:56:42,380
That�s why your mother and I are so upset about this.
954
00:56:42,403 --> 00:56:44,309
I understand that�
955
00:56:44,309 --> 00:56:46,309
But this isn't easy for me either.
956
00:56:46,710 --> 00:56:49,787
And parents are supposed to
love their kids no matter what.
957
00:56:51,653 --> 00:56:55,961
Janie, I will always love you, no matter what.
958
00:56:55,992 --> 00:56:57,841
It doesn't feel that way to me.
959
00:57:05,476 --> 00:57:07,129
- Sorry.
- It�s ok.
960
00:57:07,955 --> 00:57:10,874
I just wanted to tell you that I'm still your friend.
961
00:57:10,874 --> 00:57:12,874
No matter who you sleep with.
962
00:57:17,164 --> 00:57:19,115
I can't believe she grounded you for a whole month.
963
00:57:19,850 --> 00:57:21,610
Isn�t therapy enough of a punishment?
964
00:57:21,741 --> 00:57:23,249
Only if you have to go.
965
00:57:25,730 --> 00:57:27,594
This isn't gonna work Jane.
966
00:57:29,682 --> 00:57:30,529
What?
967
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:32,625
Us
968
00:57:32,625 --> 00:57:34,625
I mean, I really like you, but...
969
00:57:34,625 --> 00:57:35,625
This is getting out of control.
970
00:57:35,625 --> 00:57:37,625
It�s not worth it.
971
00:57:40,643 --> 00:57:43,530
But why should we let other
people decide what's best for us?
972
00:57:44,867 --> 00:57:46,939
Jane, I've had more relationships than you
973
00:57:47,279 --> 00:57:49,748
and I guess I just don't get as attached.
974
00:57:50,598 --> 00:57:51,997
It�s as easy for me to have them.
975
00:57:51,997 --> 00:57:53,997
As it is not to have them.
976
00:57:56,092 --> 00:57:57,310
But I love you.
977
00:57:57,325 --> 00:57:58,719
No, you don't.
978
00:57:58,719 --> 00:58:01,384
You barely know me.
979
00:58:01,384 --> 00:58:03,384
You just think you do
because I was your first.
980
00:58:04,260 --> 00:58:05,899
You'll get over it
981
00:58:06,133 --> 00:58:07,585
You'll get over me�
982
00:58:08,795 --> 00:58:10,252
It's just better this way.
983
00:58:56,473 --> 00:58:57,602
What happened?
984
00:58:59,048 --> 00:59:00,781
I�m gay and everyone hates me.
985
00:59:01,325 --> 00:59:03,193
They don't hate you,
they're kids.
986
00:59:05,116 --> 00:59:07,182
What did they do?
Did someone say something to you?
987
00:59:08,575 --> 00:59:10,669
Taylor just broke up with me.
988
00:59:11,836 --> 00:59:14,236
She never really cared about me
in the first place.
989
00:59:14,434 --> 00:59:16,000
That's not true!
Of course, she did!
990
00:59:16,164 --> 00:59:17,369
No, she didn't.
991
00:59:17,601 --> 00:59:20,565
It's just a fling to her.
She said so herself.
992
00:59:23,836 --> 00:59:24,546
I'm sorry�
993
00:59:29,050 --> 00:59:30,495
I just wanna die�
994
00:59:33,298 --> 00:59:35,269
You don't understand.
995
00:59:39,692 --> 00:59:41,207
Yes, I do.
996
00:59:41,648 --> 00:59:43,382
First girl I dated dumped me, too.
997
00:59:46,794 --> 00:59:48,048
What did you just say?
998
00:59:49,976 --> 00:59:52,899
I swear I thought I just
heard you say you dated a girl.
999
00:59:52,899 --> 00:59:54,736
I did.
1000
00:59:55,508 --> 00:59:57,208
No way!
1001
00:59:57,208 --> 00:59:59,884
Yes way.
1002
00:59:59,884 --> 01:00:02,313
I�m still dating girls, Jane�
1003
01:00:02,313 --> 01:00:03,313
I�m gay.
1004
01:00:04,500 --> 01:00:05,500
Oh my god!
1005
01:00:05,679 --> 01:00:06,700
But nobody knows
1006
01:00:06,700 --> 01:00:10,000
so I�d appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone.
1007
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:11,700
I swear.
1008
01:00:12,500 --> 01:00:15,700
I know it seems like the end
of the world but it's not.
1009
01:00:18,299 --> 01:00:19,968
When I was 16
1010
01:00:19,968 --> 01:00:21,968
I fell madly in love.
1011
01:00:21,970 --> 01:00:24,368
Her name was Barbara and I thought
1012
01:00:24,500 --> 01:00:26,502
I would spend all my rest life with her.
1013
01:00:26,813 --> 01:00:29,823
But we didn�t even know what a life was then�
1014
01:00:29,829 --> 01:00:32,986
We hadn't been with anyone we hadn't
done anything. How would we know anything?
1015
01:00:33,694 --> 01:00:36,774
And when she dumped me to date the football star.
1016
01:00:37,386 --> 01:00:38,724
I thought I'd die, too.
1017
01:00:40,915 --> 01:00:41,886
What'd you do?
1018
01:00:42,286 --> 01:00:44,070
I didn't die
1019
01:00:44,470 --> 01:00:46,344
but it took me some time to get over her.
1020
01:00:47,032 --> 01:00:49,027
Eventually I did and we became friends.
1021
01:00:49,269 --> 01:00:50,432
We still are.
1022
01:00:52,568 --> 01:00:53,672
When did you know...
1023
01:00:54,305 --> 01:00:55,890
I mean really know
1024
01:00:55,900 --> 01:00:57,144
that you were gay?
1025
01:00:57,204 --> 01:00:59,058
That it wasn�t a phase?
1026
01:00:59,058 --> 01:01:00,868
Almost from the start.
1027
01:01:00,868 --> 01:01:02,552
It�s not that I didn�t like men�
1028
01:01:03,322 --> 01:01:05,397
It�s just that I felt
1029
01:01:06,501 --> 01:01:08,783
connected to women in a different kind of way.
1030
01:01:09,448 --> 01:01:11,454
A way that I never felt with a man
1031
01:01:12,378 --> 01:01:14,723
even though I tried over and over again
1032
01:01:15,403 --> 01:01:17,783
to please my mother
to please other people
1033
01:01:17,783 --> 01:01:18,686
to be like them.
1034
01:01:18,686 --> 01:01:22,715
but I wasn't like them.
I was me.
1035
01:01:25,071 --> 01:01:27,391
How long did it take you to get over Barbara?
1036
01:01:27,391 --> 01:01:28,866
A couple of years.
1037
01:01:28,866 --> 01:01:31,351
I�m kidding!
1038
01:01:31,351 --> 01:01:33,351
But it'll take some time.
1039
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,373
An open heart is easily
wounded and hard to repair.
1040
01:01:44,466 --> 01:01:47,463
I have to pick up Brad at Jeff's after dinner.
1041
01:01:47,992 --> 01:01:48,773
I'll go.
1042
01:01:48,773 --> 01:01:49,773
Ok
1043
01:02:01,150 --> 01:02:02,471
Jane, what's the matter?
1044
01:02:04,747 --> 01:02:08,106
Besides the fact that I live with gestapo?
1045
01:02:08,106 --> 01:02:11,106
You�ll be happy to know that
Taylor broke up with me today
1046
01:02:13,214 --> 01:02:14,552
because of you.
1047
01:02:20,447 --> 01:02:23,848
Honey, it'll be ok�
1048
01:02:24,614 --> 01:02:26,604
Maybe that'll put an end to this nonsense.
1049
01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:29,515
It isn't nonsense to me.
1050
01:02:35,947 --> 01:02:37,245
My God, Janice.
1051
01:02:37,445 --> 01:02:39,945
She�s hurting.
Can�t you just be her mother for a minute?
1052
01:02:41,532 --> 01:02:43,442
Don�t concern yourself...
1053
01:02:44,045 --> 01:02:45,196
of what I should be.
1054
01:02:45,198 --> 01:02:46,698
This isn't all about you, you know?
1055
01:02:46,703 --> 01:02:49,390
No, it isn�t. And maybe
you should concern yourself
1056
01:02:49,390 --> 01:02:51,748
with the fact that your daughter
would've ruined her life.
1057
01:02:51,748 --> 01:02:53,784
I�ll tell you what I�m concerned about.
1058
01:02:53,784 --> 01:02:55,784
I�m concerned about the fact that
my daughter's got a broken heart.
1059
01:02:55,784 --> 01:02:57,850
That�s what I�m concerned about.
1060
01:03:02,990 --> 01:03:05,273
I wasn't sorry about how I felt
1061
01:03:05,273 --> 01:03:07,273
but believe it or not
1062
01:03:07,273 --> 01:03:09,273
I was sorry about tearing my parents apart.
1063
01:03:31,812 --> 01:03:36,059
If adults could just remember their first love
maybe they wouldn't think ours were so wrong.
1064
01:03:54,341 --> 01:03:55,759
Where have you been?
1065
01:03:56,035 --> 01:03:57,422
Out.
1066
01:03:57,522 --> 01:03:58,638
You�ve been drinking?
1067
01:04:00,193 --> 01:04:01,040
Yes.
1068
01:04:01,045 --> 01:04:02,480
What're you thinking about?
1069
01:04:02,570 --> 01:04:04,148
You�re grounded, again.
1070
01:04:04,148 --> 01:04:05,119
Why?
1071
01:04:05,119 --> 01:04:07,119
Because you�re 16 years old
1072
01:04:07,119 --> 01:04:10,119
and as long as you're in this house,
you will do what we say
1073
01:04:10,119 --> 01:04:11,067
or I�ll lock you up!
1074
01:04:16,319 --> 01:04:17,744
Where�s your little girlfriend?
1075
01:04:19,007 --> 01:04:20,327
Just walk away Elisabeth.
1076
01:04:20,654 --> 01:04:22,812
Who's gonna make me?
1077
01:04:22,812 --> 01:04:24,244
I will.
1078
01:04:24,244 --> 01:04:27,244
That�s right, you're
a dyke now, aren't you?
1079
01:04:30,542 --> 01:04:35,310
Stop this nonsense, stop it. Stop it!
1080
01:04:37,143 --> 01:04:39,829
Whoever said these were the best
years of your life, was a liar.
1081
01:04:40,768 --> 01:04:42,118
Hello Mr. Anderson.
1082
01:04:42,118 --> 01:04:44,118
I�m sorry. I came over as soon as I could.
1083
01:04:44,118 --> 01:04:45,493
I�m glad you are here.
1084
01:04:45,593 --> 01:04:47,719
We can't tolerate violence
of any kind around here.
1085
01:04:47,719 --> 01:04:51,206
That's why I'm suspending Jane.
Now I�m sorry.
1086
01:04:51,049 --> 01:04:52,571
I understand.
1087
01:04:52,571 --> 01:04:54,842
I�m sorry for any trouble that Jane has caused.
1088
01:04:54,850 --> 01:04:56,624
You don't have to apologize for me.
1089
01:04:56,628 --> 01:04:59,024
Somebody has to.
Come on come on, let's go!
1090
01:05:00,179 --> 01:05:00,741
Come on!
1091
01:05:05,143 --> 01:05:08,064
-Let go off me!
-What? You gonna hit me, too?
1092
01:05:09,099 --> 01:05:11,701
Hey, lesbo, if you were with
me, you wouldn't need to be a dyke!
1093
01:05:12,501 --> 01:05:13,901
Right on, man.
1094
01:05:17,523 --> 01:05:19,606
Why do you care what they say?
You're just like them.
1095
01:05:23,690 --> 01:05:24,670
Jane!
1096
01:05:25,567 --> 01:05:27,865
-Jane, get in here!
-Come on!
1097
01:05:36,058 --> 01:05:38,260
I�m not even gonna ask you
1098
01:05:38,260 --> 01:05:41,260
to explain what you did, because
there is no explanation.
1099
01:05:41,955 --> 01:05:44,467
Jane, you can't resolve things this way.
1100
01:05:45,002 --> 01:05:48,700
Why not? Elizabeth started it.
She was making fun of Taylor and me.
1101
01:05:49,114 --> 01:05:52,158
Does you blame her?
What you're doing isn't normal.
1102
01:05:52,429 --> 01:05:54,922
Jimmy's normal. Ms Walcott's normal.
1103
01:06:01,842 --> 01:06:03,373
What did you say?
1104
01:06:04,762 --> 01:06:07,601
Nothing, I accidentally said her name.
I just meant Jimmy.
1105
01:06:09,392 --> 01:06:12,123
You said Ms. Walcott's normal.
1106
01:06:13,940 --> 01:06:15,941
Is Ms. Walcott gay?
1107
01:06:18,044 --> 01:06:21,316
Jane, is your teacher gay?
1108
01:06:23,891 --> 01:06:25,933
Yes, but it doesn't matter.
1109
01:06:25,933 --> 01:06:27,733
Of course it matters!
1110
01:06:28,584 --> 01:06:30,524
She has influence over you.
1111
01:06:30,754 --> 01:06:32,053
She�s misusing it.
1112
01:06:32,279 --> 01:06:34,784
She�s the only good thing at that damned school.
1113
01:06:35,090 --> 01:06:36,478
Oh we'll just see about that!
1114
01:06:36,666 --> 01:06:39,778
No please, don't hurt Ms. Walcott!
Please mom!
1115
01:06:39,780 --> 01:06:42,129
Please don't say anything!
I�ll die!
1116
01:06:42,384 --> 01:06:44,768
-Janice, Janice don't do this!
-No!
1117
01:06:45,557 --> 01:06:48,806
No, please�
1118
01:06:48,806 --> 01:06:50,806
Why is she doing this?
1119
01:06:51,042 --> 01:06:52,731
It�s ok.
1120
01:06:54,390 --> 01:06:57,039
Janie, come on. Come on.
1121
01:07:05,698 --> 01:07:06,438
Ms. Walcott?
1122
01:07:06,538 --> 01:07:07,530
Yes
1123
01:07:07,530 --> 01:07:09,971
-I�m Janice Tyler, Jane's mother.
-It�s nice to meet you.
1124
01:07:10,091 --> 01:07:12,015
Stay away from my daughter.
1125
01:07:12,015 --> 01:07:14,215
Well, that'll be difficult. I�m her teacher.
1126
01:07:14,318 --> 01:07:16,503
You're also gay and you're influencing her.
1127
01:07:16,503 --> 01:07:19,503
Unless you'd like me to go to the school board
which I'm perfectly prepared to do.
1128
01:07:19,503 --> 01:07:21,503
Just stay away from my daughter.
1129
01:07:48,248 --> 01:07:48,960
Jane?
1130
01:07:53,474 --> 01:07:56,603
Your father and I have decided we have
to do something about your behavior.
1131
01:07:56,832 --> 01:07:59,081
We tried talking to you, punishing you
1132
01:07:59,081 --> 01:08:01,081
and therapy hasn't worked at all.
1133
01:08:01,081 --> 01:08:05,976
So... We've decided we should
send you away to boarding school.
1134
01:08:06,262 --> 01:08:07,549
I won't go!
1135
01:08:07,549 --> 01:08:10,039
I like the school I�m in.
1136
01:08:10,557 --> 01:08:11,877
This isn't your choice.
1137
01:08:12,401 --> 01:08:13,676
It�s not what we want to do.
1138
01:08:15,179 --> 01:08:16,320
Well, I�ll run away.
1139
01:08:17,110 --> 01:08:19,139
They can't watch me 24 hours a day.
1140
01:08:19,411 --> 01:08:20,945
Maybe you prefer outward bound.
1141
01:08:22,949 --> 01:08:24,963
I don't care�
Do what you have to do.
1142
01:08:25,403 --> 01:08:26,700
Jane! Jane!
1143
01:08:27,151 --> 01:08:28,231
Let her go.
1144
01:08:30,522 --> 01:08:31,649
How did we get here?
1145
01:08:31,886 --> 01:08:34,668
-You know how we got here.
-No I don't!
1146
01:08:35,088 --> 01:08:37,088
I don't want to send her away.
1147
01:08:38,450 --> 01:08:40,159
I�m not gonna let you make this my fault.
1148
01:09:01,398 --> 01:09:03,506
Jane, what are you doing here?
1149
01:09:04,135 --> 01:09:05,634
Come in, come in, come in.
1150
01:09:08,772 --> 01:09:10,086
Are you ok?
1151
01:09:12,208 --> 01:09:15,891
-Lynn? What�s...?
-Honey, this is Jane.
1152
01:09:16,372 --> 01:09:19,622
Hi Jane. I've heard a lot about you.
1153
01:09:20,682 --> 01:09:22,304
Do you guys want some tea or something?
1154
01:09:22,304 --> 01:09:23,320
You want some tea?
1155
01:09:23,420 --> 01:09:24,903
No, thanks.
1156
01:09:24,903 --> 01:09:28,642
Well I�m gonna go back to sleep.
I gotta get up early.
1157
01:09:28,752 --> 01:09:31,181
It was nice to meet you, hang in there.
1158
01:09:31,881 --> 01:09:33,917
Come on over here.
1159
01:09:34,881 --> 01:09:35,917
What�s going on?
1160
01:09:36,639 --> 01:09:38,117
I�m so sorry.
1161
01:09:38,217 --> 01:09:39,718
I never meant to hurt you.
1162
01:09:39,818 --> 01:09:42,173
Oh sweetie, you didn�t.
1163
01:09:42,210 --> 01:09:44,055
It�s gonna be ok.
1164
01:09:45,165 --> 01:09:46,259
It won't be.
1165
01:09:46,559 --> 01:09:50,970
My parents are sending me away.
They�re kicking me out.
1166
01:09:50,990 --> 01:09:52,233
They hate me.
1167
01:09:52,235 --> 01:09:54,331
Everybody hates me.
1168
01:09:54,331 --> 01:09:56,927
I don't know what to do
I have nowhere to go.
1169
01:09:56,927 --> 01:09:59,927
I just want to disappear.
1170
01:09:59,927 --> 01:10:03,485
I don't want to live anymore.
1171
01:10:04,336 --> 01:10:06,072
It�s gonna be ok, I swear.
1172
01:10:06,075 --> 01:10:08,293
It�s gonna be ok�
1173
01:10:23,682 --> 01:10:28,132
I know that I�m the last person you expected
and the last person that you wanted to see
1174
01:10:28,176 --> 01:10:31,124
but Jane run away tonight
and she came to my house.
1175
01:10:31,077 --> 01:10:32,366
Is she there, now?
1176
01:10:32,489 --> 01:10:34,813
-Yes
-Would please give us your address so we can come get her?
1177
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,459
No, first, you're gonna listen
to what I have to say to you.
1178
01:10:37,710 --> 01:10:40,497
And then after that you can do
whatever it is you need to do.
1179
01:10:42,804 --> 01:10:46,158
I know you think it isn't my place to say
anything to you about your daughter.
1180
01:10:46,158 --> 01:10:48,058
But someone has to�
1181
01:10:49,277 --> 01:10:51,120
I understand I may repulse you
1182
01:10:51,608 --> 01:10:54,049
but I also understand Jane�s pain.
1183
01:10:54,273 --> 01:10:57,200
The pain having people
hate you not based on you
1184
01:10:57,205 --> 01:10:59,728
but based on what I think
we have very little control over.
1185
01:10:59,728 --> 01:11:02,242
Well, that's where you and I disagree.
1186
01:11:02,542 --> 01:11:04,976
Look, you've made your choice, and frankly,
1187
01:11:04,980 --> 01:11:06,515
it�s none of my business.
1188
01:11:07,983 --> 01:11:12,812
I just don't think you that
should be teaching young girls
1189
01:11:12,937 --> 01:11:15,619
and supporting alternative lifestyles
1190
01:11:16,327 --> 01:11:18,929
just because they happen to be yours.
1191
01:11:20,804 --> 01:11:23,288
Don�t you understand, that Jane..
1192
01:11:23,692 --> 01:11:25,595
And girls like Jane
1193
01:11:26,712 --> 01:11:28,469
are impressionable.
1194
01:11:29,531 --> 01:11:31,387
That they look up to their teachers.
1195
01:11:33,607 --> 01:11:35,444
They want to be just like them.
1196
01:11:37,233 --> 01:11:39,439
Just let me finish what I have to say to you
1197
01:11:40,237 --> 01:11:42,929
and then after that, if you want
to go to the school board so be it.
1198
01:11:43,957 --> 01:11:46,076
But in the meantime
1199
01:11:46,279 --> 01:11:51,767
your child that you gave birth to is in agony
and she doesn't need to be.
1200
01:11:52,017 --> 01:11:56,085
Jane ran away tonight because
she thinks that you hate her.
1201
01:11:56,161 --> 01:11:57,996
And I know what that's like.
1202
01:11:58,159 --> 01:11:59,034
It�s awful.
1203
01:11:59,349 --> 01:12:02,036
And no child should have to go through that.
1204
01:12:03,391 --> 01:12:04,792
Jane�s a good person.
1205
01:12:05,041 --> 01:12:07,104
And being gay doesn't make her a bad one.
1206
01:12:07,825 --> 01:12:10,712
She�s still the same person that
you adored two weeks ago.
1207
01:12:10,787 --> 01:12:12,946
I still adore my daughter.
1208
01:12:14,461 --> 01:12:16,994
I just want to protect her from people like you.
1209
01:12:17,113 --> 01:12:18,338
Janice, let her talk.
1210
01:12:19,677 --> 01:12:24,279
Jane�s only crime is that she loves
differently that you do
1211
01:12:25,943 --> 01:12:27,629
and you don't have to understand it
1212
01:12:28,072 --> 01:12:29,372
or even agree with it.
1213
01:12:29,755 --> 01:12:31,184
But unless you try to
1214
01:12:31,826 --> 01:12:33,811
you gonna lose her... forever.
1215
01:12:33,811 --> 01:12:37,117
I appreciate your concern, but I think
we know our daughter better than you do.
1216
01:12:37,251 --> 01:12:38,485
Really?
1217
01:12:38,485 --> 01:12:41,485
Well did you know that your daughter
came to my house tonight
1218
01:12:41,485 --> 01:12:43,485
thinking that suicide was one of her options.
1219
01:13:05,583 --> 01:13:07,406
Can I speak to Jane alone please?
1220
01:13:07,406 --> 01:13:09,406
Sure, I�ll wait out there.
1221
01:13:21,341 --> 01:13:22,045
Hi.
1222
01:13:33,159 --> 01:13:36,640
Ms. Walcott came over tonight
1223
01:13:37,343 --> 01:13:40,000
and told us something
1224
01:13:40,005 --> 01:13:41,779
I'd never considered before.
1225
01:13:44,637 --> 01:13:47,747
She said that if I continue to behave
1226
01:13:48,744 --> 01:13:50,629
the way I've been behaving
1227
01:13:51,708 --> 01:13:54,150
that I would lose you permanently.
1228
01:13:58,218 --> 01:13:59,265
I�m your mother
1229
01:13:59,790 --> 01:14:01,156
and I love you
1230
01:14:02,503 --> 01:14:04,006
and I don't wanna lose you.
1231
01:14:12,786 --> 01:14:14,761
When you first told us
1232
01:14:15,999 --> 01:14:17,024
I thought
1233
01:14:19,117 --> 01:14:20,855
what've I done wrong as a mother
1234
01:14:22,957 --> 01:14:23,861
and
1235
01:14:25,923 --> 01:14:27,404
I did think
1236
01:14:28,674 --> 01:14:31,692
what would people say
what'll I tell my friends.
1237
01:14:36,712 --> 01:14:38,877
But my first reaction
1238
01:14:40,643 --> 01:14:44,144
was that I didn't want your life to
be any harder than it had to be.
1239
01:14:48,199 --> 01:14:51,120
The world is not a nice place
1240
01:14:55,622 --> 01:14:59,137
and I guess I had the same dream as
every mother has with their little girl.
1241
01:15:04,431 --> 01:15:06,518
That you'd meet a good man.
1242
01:15:07,272 --> 01:15:08,850
You'd fall in love.
1243
01:15:09,437 --> 01:15:10,499
You'd get married.
1244
01:15:10,502 --> 01:15:11,550
Have children...
1245
01:15:11,553 --> 01:15:13,750
Those are your dreams
1246
01:15:15,456 --> 01:15:16,656
I know that.
1247
01:15:24,550 --> 01:15:26,063
Can I ask you a question?
1248
01:15:26,550 --> 01:15:28,063
Yeah.
1249
01:15:30,580 --> 01:15:33,429
When did first feel that you were a...
1250
01:15:36,878 --> 01:15:38,003
A lesbian?
1251
01:15:38,541 --> 01:15:40,652
It�s ok, you can say it without becoming one.
1252
01:15:48,318 --> 01:15:51,311
Oh god, you're exhausting sometimes.
1253
01:15:52,142 --> 01:15:52,905
Sorry.
1254
01:15:56,482 --> 01:15:57,637
I guess
1255
01:15:58,570 --> 01:16:01,259
I've always known that I was different.
1256
01:16:02,507 --> 01:16:06,339
I didn�t feel a part of things.
1257
01:16:07,907 --> 01:16:09,508
I�m not sure when it became clear.
1258
01:16:09,855 --> 01:16:12,436
Probably last year�
1259
01:16:14,684 --> 01:16:17,289
But I guess it's always been inside of me.
1260
01:16:20,362 --> 01:16:21,915
What's the hardest part about it?
1261
01:16:24,285 --> 01:16:26,412
That the people you
care about will hate you.
1262
01:16:29,068 --> 01:16:30,781
I could never hate you.
1263
01:16:34,136 --> 01:16:37,161
I don't think I�m gonna change
and I know you want me to, so...
1264
01:16:38,823 --> 01:16:39,998
What do we do?
1265
01:16:41,903 --> 01:16:42,940
I don't know�
1266
01:16:48,163 --> 01:16:49,481
Just try harder.
1267
01:16:51,854 --> 01:16:53,316
I will if you will.
1268
01:16:59,676 --> 01:17:01,175
I don't know�
1269
01:17:02,885 --> 01:17:04,619
...if I�m ever gonna accept it.
1270
01:17:05,598 --> 01:17:07,098
and frankly...
1271
01:17:08,237 --> 01:17:11,070
I don't know if I can understand
what you're doing, but...
1272
01:17:14,816 --> 01:17:16,404
We'll take it day by day.
1273
01:17:30,083 --> 01:17:31,991
An hour ago I didn't think I had a mother.
1274
01:17:32,359 --> 01:17:35,279
But now I think I may be meeting her
for the very first time.
1275
01:17:41,606 --> 01:17:43,994
Thanks for not telling anyone about Ms. Walcott.
1276
01:17:44,173 --> 01:17:44,969
You're welcome.
1277
01:17:46,877 --> 01:17:48,513
What?
1278
01:17:48,515 --> 01:17:52,033
Well because you're still
having a hard time accepting this
1279
01:17:52,033 --> 01:17:54,327
I�d like you to come to a meeting with me.
1280
01:17:54,542 --> 01:17:55,971
It�s for parents with gay kids.
1281
01:17:55,974 --> 01:17:57,438
It�s called PFLAG.
1282
01:17:58,338 --> 01:17:59,338
What kind of name is that?
1283
01:18:00,237 --> 01:18:04,000
It stands for parents, friends,
and family of lesbians and gays.
1284
01:18:04,804 --> 01:18:07,525
Ah... and what will we do there?
1285
01:18:15,005 --> 01:18:17,868
-Come on!
-Coming, don't pull me!
1286
01:18:18,755 --> 01:18:20,800
Hi, welcome to PFLAG!
1287
01:18:20,869 --> 01:18:23,459
I�m Dorothy, and my son is gay.
1288
01:18:23,785 --> 01:18:26,684
This is my mother, Janice
and her daughter is a lesbian.
1289
01:18:27,046 --> 01:18:28,588
That would be me.
1290
01:18:29,267 --> 01:18:30,708
It�s hard to say at first
1291
01:18:30,710 --> 01:18:33,283
but pretty soon you'll
be saying it to everyone.
1292
01:18:33,473 --> 01:18:34,644
Oh really?
1293
01:18:35,019 --> 01:18:36,373
When would that be?
1294
01:18:40,277 --> 01:18:42,236
First I thought it was me.
1295
01:18:42,835 --> 01:18:47,365
Then I thought...what people will think
1296
01:18:47,365 --> 01:18:49,420
about me?
1297
01:18:49,653 --> 01:18:51,358
What kind of a horrible mother am I?
1298
01:18:53,090 --> 01:18:54,041
Then when
1299
01:18:54,869 --> 01:18:58,668
I almost lost my child because of
1300
01:18:58,884 --> 01:19:00,411
my ignorance.
1301
01:19:01,670 --> 01:19:03,260
I found her again,
1302
01:19:04,658 --> 01:19:05,880
and who she was
1303
01:19:07,781 --> 01:19:10,802
was exactly who she
was always meant to be.
1304
01:19:12,609 --> 01:19:13,841
Good child.
1305
01:19:14,308 --> 01:19:16,989
Kind child.
my...
1306
01:19:20,088 --> 01:19:21,941
My child, excuse me�
1307
01:19:26,556 --> 01:19:28,034
What I came to realize
1308
01:19:29,915 --> 01:19:31,475
was that none of this,
1309
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:34,900
has anything to do with us.
1310
01:19:36,546 --> 01:19:38,007
It�s their lives
1311
01:19:39,126 --> 01:19:43,208
And we, as parents,
need to let them live their lives.
1312
01:19:44,426 --> 01:19:45,844
as they see fit.
1313
01:19:46,641 --> 01:19:49,539
Not as we see fit.
1314
01:19:52,247 --> 01:19:53,742
Thank you.
1315
01:19:59,038 --> 01:20:00,342
Ring a bell?
1316
01:20:04,581 --> 01:20:05,737
I got it.
1317
01:20:07,044 --> 01:20:09,275
Oh, thanks!
1318
01:20:16,176 --> 01:20:16,796
Thank you!
1319
01:20:18,513 --> 01:20:19,834
Oh, don't even think about it.
1320
01:20:19,895 --> 01:20:21,300
He�s my friend.
1321
01:20:21,300 --> 01:20:22,741
Nothing more, nothing less.
1322
01:20:22,741 --> 01:20:23,994
She�s still a dyke, mom.
1323
01:20:24,737 --> 01:20:26,743
And she's still your sister,
so watch your mouth!
1324
01:20:32,579 --> 01:20:33,776
Just go to hell!
1325
01:20:37,285 --> 01:20:39,067
May I have ketchup, please?
Thank you.
1326
01:20:47,695 --> 01:20:48,986
I�m really proud of you!
1327
01:20:51,097 --> 01:20:52,312
Don't be.
1328
01:20:56,547 --> 01:20:58,686
You know they have a saying in AA
1329
01:20:59,969 --> 01:21:02,116
to act as if
1330
01:21:03,735 --> 01:21:07,601
as if you...understand or
1331
01:21:08,566 --> 01:21:09,939
accept something.
1332
01:21:11,842 --> 01:21:13,336
When you really don't
1333
01:21:17,863 --> 01:21:19,551
and that's what I�m doing
1334
01:21:20,980 --> 01:21:22,744
acting as if
1335
01:21:26,850 --> 01:21:29,555
because it still breaks my heart.
1336
01:21:44,361 --> 01:21:46,233
- Did you want to say something?
- No.
1337
01:21:48,578 --> 01:21:49,370
Thanks.
1338
01:21:50,020 --> 01:21:51,665
But you can't protect me forever.
1339
01:21:51,765 --> 01:21:54,405
No, but when I can I hope you'll let me
1340
01:21:57,959 --> 01:21:59,115
What happened to you?
1341
01:22:00,319 --> 01:22:01,880
Someone called me a fag hag.
1342
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,880
Which is insane, cos I�m not a fag.
1343
01:22:04,292 --> 01:22:06,389
I beat the crap out of them anyways.
1344
01:22:09,254 --> 01:22:13,003
At that moment if I had been straight,
I would've married Ned right then and there.
1345
01:22:19,393 --> 01:22:21,159
You ok about Taylor moving back east?
1346
01:22:21,696 --> 01:22:23,546
Yeah, thanks.
1347
01:22:24,673 --> 01:22:25,581
Isn't this great?
1348
01:22:27,299 --> 01:22:30,595
Dad, don't think I all of a
sudden like sports because I�m gay!
1349
01:22:31,223 --> 01:22:32,699
How about fishing?
1350
01:22:34,425 --> 01:22:35,883
Suppose golf is out of the question!
1351
01:22:38,109 --> 01:22:39,769
So what do lesbians like to do?
1352
01:22:42,801 --> 01:22:44,123
Same things like you to do.
1353
01:22:45,963 --> 01:22:46,988
Can we go home now?
1354
01:22:49,417 --> 01:22:50,219
Yeah, sure.
1355
01:23:00,784 --> 01:23:02,215
-Hi!
-Hi!
1356
01:23:03,915 --> 01:23:05,636
Boy, am I glad to see you guys.
1357
01:23:05,877 --> 01:23:07,847
Who the hell thinks this is fun?
1358
01:23:07,847 --> 01:23:11,847
You lose a tiny piece that you barely see, much
less find, and you still want blow your brains out.
1359
01:23:11,847 --> 01:23:13,498
- Can I go Jeff's house now?
- Go, go!
1360
01:23:13,847 --> 01:23:15,134
Praise the Lord.
1361
01:23:15,134 --> 01:23:18,516
-You guys have fun?
-Oh yeah, tell her Dad. Time of our lives�
1362
01:23:20,710 --> 01:23:22,386
Can I talk to you guys for a minute?
1363
01:23:23,710 --> 01:23:25,186
Sure.
1364
01:23:26,332 --> 01:23:29,617
I appreciate all that you're doing to
try to be a part of my life
1365
01:23:29,953 --> 01:23:32,957
and to show me you love me
even though I�m gay.
1366
01:23:34,365 --> 01:23:36,741
But you don't need to try quite so hard.
1367
01:23:38,648 --> 01:23:39,975
- Sorry.
- Sorry.
1368
01:23:50,086 --> 01:23:52,948
Hi, Janice, glad you here.
How�s Jane?
1369
01:23:53,002 --> 01:23:54,095
She�s good, thank you.
1370
01:23:54,699 --> 01:23:55,598
And you?
1371
01:23:57,070 --> 01:23:58,244
I�m trying.
1372
01:24:00,808 --> 01:24:03,557
My name is Lorraine
and my daughter is a lesbian�
1373
01:24:04,156 --> 01:24:06,328
I�m Susan, and my son is gay�
1374
01:24:08,858 --> 01:24:12,151
My name is Janice, and...
1375
01:24:12,905 --> 01:24:16,280
It�s ok,
let's start to meeting now.
1376
01:24:24,597 --> 01:24:25,545
What do you want?
1377
01:24:25,547 --> 01:24:27,066
I�m not gonna hurt you.
1378
01:24:27,166 --> 01:24:29,034
Then what do you want?
1379
01:24:29,104 --> 01:24:30,806
I bought you this.
1380
01:24:32,339 --> 01:24:33,995
Why would you give me a present?
1381
01:24:34,532 --> 01:24:36,295
I've never been nice
to you in my whole life.
1382
01:24:36,538 --> 01:24:39,162
I know, but I've never
been nice to you either
1383
01:24:39,144 --> 01:24:41,073
so I thought I�d try it.
1384
01:24:41,373 --> 01:24:43,595
I'm the one who told people you were gay.
1385
01:24:43,595 --> 01:24:44,595
I know�
1386
01:24:45,911 --> 01:24:47,650
- It�s a trick ,isn�t it?
- No.
1387
01:24:48,701 --> 01:24:49,638
I don't get it.
1388
01:24:50,549 --> 01:24:52,107
There�s a saying...
1389
01:24:52,207 --> 01:24:53,853
kill 'em with kindness
1390
01:24:53,853 --> 01:24:55,853
and in a few years,
you'll know what it means.
1391
01:24:58,180 --> 01:25:00,103
Why can't I eat over at Jeff's house?
1392
01:25:00,104 --> 01:25:01,860
Because we have to have more family dinners
1393
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,217
- Why?
- Because we're gluttons for punishment.
1394
01:25:05,558 --> 01:25:07,181
Because we're a family, son.
1395
01:25:07,693 --> 01:25:09,973
That�s in the eye of the beholder.
1396
01:25:09,973 --> 01:25:11,973
Keep it up and you'll behold your room.
1397
01:25:13,187 --> 01:25:15,062
How�re the PFLAG meetings going, Janice?
1398
01:25:16,477 --> 01:25:18,305
Good... Good�
1399
01:25:19,017 --> 01:25:23,480
You have this gay pride rally next week.
1400
01:25:23,875 --> 01:25:26,713
- But I don't know, I guess it's kind of a field trip.
- Great, great!
1401
01:25:26,812 --> 01:25:28,049
Good for you.
1402
01:25:28,136 --> 01:25:33,240
Well I don't think I�m going to be going,
I mean, I�m getting better
1403
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:36,879
but I just don't think I'm ready to
shout it from the roof tops yet.
1404
01:25:41,706 --> 01:25:43,902
One step forward, one step backwards�
1405
01:25:55,792 --> 01:25:56,571
Jane?
1406
01:25:58,020 --> 01:25:58,893
Can I come in?
1407
01:26:09,725 --> 01:26:12,704
Look, I�m doing the best I can, and
sometimes it stinks,
1408
01:26:15,054 --> 01:26:17,259
I�ll get better, I promise�
1409
01:26:17,733 --> 01:26:18,688
When?
1410
01:26:20,131 --> 01:26:23,186
I'm going to the meetings,
I'm acknowledging you're gay,
1411
01:26:24,068 --> 01:26:25,284
I think I'm doing pretty well.
1412
01:26:25,774 --> 01:26:29,369
But it's all in private,
it's still safe.
1413
01:26:29,411 --> 01:26:32,669
You don't really accept me
unless you do it out in the open.
1414
01:26:36,712 --> 01:26:37,967
I�m sorry�
1415
01:26:40,968 --> 01:26:41,928
I can't.
1416
01:26:45,495 --> 01:26:47,527
I'm going as fast as I can.
1417
01:26:50,776 --> 01:26:57,202
We stand united, as brothers and sisters,
in the fight for what all human beings deserve
1418
01:26:57,792 --> 01:27:01,642
equality, rights, dignity.
1419
01:27:01,850 --> 01:27:06,117
The very things that other people take
for granted that are given to them...
1420
01:27:06,217 --> 01:27:11,750
Under the law, all men and women were
created equal in the eyes of my God.
1421
01:27:11,750 --> 01:27:15,750
A god that is inclusive, not exclusive
1422
01:27:16,228 --> 01:27:18,490
in a world we envision,
1423
01:27:18,590 --> 01:27:23,790
not in a world of fences and walls, the things
that keep people out because they're different
1424
01:27:23,790 --> 01:27:25,790
but in a world that loves.
1425
01:27:33,779 --> 01:27:39,181
We ask from the world what we expect from it,
not what it gives us if it's wrong
1426
01:27:39,691 --> 01:27:41,995
Those are the things we're still fighting for.
1427
01:27:44,413 --> 01:27:47,939
We demonstrate, protest.
1428
01:27:48,025 --> 01:27:49,635
Hi, Jane!
1429
01:27:50,158 --> 01:27:52,505
You guys shouldn't be
here, someone might see you.
1430
01:27:53,191 --> 01:27:54,359
It's about time we did.
1431
01:28:00,061 --> 01:28:01,387
Sorry, your Mom's not here.
1432
01:28:01,749 --> 01:28:02,865
She�ll come around.
1433
01:28:03,292 --> 01:28:04,379
What if she doesn't?
1434
01:28:19,259 --> 01:28:20,940
Where's Janice? They
want us on stage to speak.
1435
01:28:21,278 --> 01:28:22,240
She�s not coming�
1436
01:28:22,742 --> 01:28:24,325
Oh, I�m sorry, Jane.
1437
01:28:24,009 --> 01:28:25,512
It�s ok.
1438
01:28:25,612 --> 01:28:28,156
It took me 3 or 4 runs
at it before I came.
1439
01:28:29,056 --> 01:28:31,553
Well you're here, it's a start.
1440
01:28:31,656 --> 01:28:33,053
We�ll see you guys later.
1441
01:28:36,356 --> 01:28:38,553
[ladies and gentlemen, the PFLAG moms]
1442
01:28:47,497 --> 01:28:52,708
Hi, I�m Dorothy, and my son is gay.
1443
01:29:00,094 --> 01:29:02,278
I�m Lorraine, and my daughter is a lesbian,
1444
01:29:03,814 --> 01:29:05,760
I love her, and I'm proud to be her mom.
1445
01:29:10,780 --> 01:29:13,049
I�m Carl, my daughter's a lesbian�
1446
01:29:15,582 --> 01:29:17,915
I�m Danci, and my son is gay�
1447
01:29:24,131 --> 01:29:29,690
Hi I�m Rick, my daughter is a lesbian,
I�m very proud of her.
1448
01:29:38,271 --> 01:29:41,374
The amazing thing about change
is that everyone can do it,
1449
01:29:41,735 --> 01:29:44,247
even the people you least expect it from.
1450
01:29:48,048 --> 01:29:50,996
My mother was finally exactly the person
she was meant to be.
1451
01:29:52,052 --> 01:29:56,331
I was so proud of how well she had grown up.
1452
01:30:04,502 --> 01:30:11,331
This is dedicated to Matthew Shepard...
and to all of the men & women
who love differently.
